swapped motherboards caused networking problem

[bob]

Ok here's the situation... wondering if someone else had this
issue or solved it:


P4C800E Deluxe was the system board,... it died... and so I had to
swap it out. Swapped it with a P4P800SE.

When this was done, the network card obviously changed. I went from
whatever is on the P4C800E (Intel i think) to a Marvell integrated on
the P4P800SE.
When I put the ip address back into the network card, it said that
that IP was already assigned to a NIC in the system.. i continued
anyway and everything seemed to be working. Looking at the device
manager, and safe mode, the old Intel nic was not listed.. so I
figured it was gone.

I tried to RDP into my pc (Windows XP Pro) and it wouldn't work. I
changed the ip address fro m192.168.1.16, to 192.168.1.56.. and it
worked. The 16 was the old address.
So I assumed that the 1.16 is still bound to the old nic, which is
still in the registry.

i did a regedit search for 192.168.1.16, and there it is, the old nic
under a parameters key, for tcpip...

how can i uninstall the intel from the p4c800e deluxe config, so that
the marvell is the only thing in there? I hate to do a regedit and
kill all the entries, but i'm not sure what else to do....
anyone ever run across this?

good lord, nevermind...
had an epiphany immediately after submitting the original post....

while the networking card was not visible in device manager (even in
safe mode)... i remembered i had installed Intel ProSet with the
p4c800e...

i opened that utility and there was the nic.. listed, with a red X on
it... right clicking allowed me to remove it from the system... and
voila,... it's out of the registry now..

thanks to myself, for the solution... hahaha
