I have two identical computers that I built, mine and my mother-in-law's.
My
mother-in-law's computer was working fine until a week or two ago, the
network stopped working. When I go to look at network connections, it says
that it is connected, and it detects if the Ethernet cable is attached or
unplugged. I tried re-installing the drivers for the on-board network
interface, but it didn't matter. I installed an extra NIC. I had a bear of
a
time getting Windows to install it. It detected it, but even though it was
a
standard Linksys PCI 10/100 card, it didn't have drivers for it. I found
some
and it installed. The problem is that I STILL don't have a connection.
When
looking for the MAC address of either, the screen is blank. It does not
detect the DHCP settings sent by the router. I went into the command
prompt
and ran "ipconfig /all" and got the following:
C:\ ipconfig /all
Windows IP Configuration
An internal error occurred: The request is not supported.

Somehow, something got really FUBARd in the system files, although I don't
know what. I don't want to have to re-format the hard drive to re-install
Windows. Is there a way to repair this without reformatting the HD and
loosing all the programs already installed?
Have you tried another network card?
