Re: Uninstall Network card driver (Win XP)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

An alternate method is to check the computer's BIOS setup. Usually
the NIC can be disabled as part of the Peripheral Setup category.

restarts?

If the NIC can't be removed physically, it might help to open Device
Manager, double-click the NIC, and under "Device Usage", select "Do not
use this device (disable)".
