and then the HUB uplinks to a DSL router. My best/newest computer suddenly
stopped being able to "see" the network Monday morning. It was working fine
Sunday night, I shut down and then it would not work on Monday morning when
I powered up. The other 2 computers work fine. The "broken" computer runs
fine with exception that it cannot browse the intranet/local network (can
not access the other computers shared folders). It refuses to get a DHCP or
DNS. Basically it is acting as if the network card went bad but..when I plug
the cable into the HUB it reports it is connected and the light flashes on
the HUB as if it were sending tons of information (like when first booting,
Dling or playing a game - constant flicker). It never reports receiving any
packets via Ethernet connection and keeps flashing as long as it is plugged
in. I can access the internet via dial up and it works fine. Here is what I
have tried, all of which did NOT fix it:

HUB is a simple network switch with no firewall.

WinXP (and reinstalled all updates via dial-up) and tried 1-3 again
including the latest signed nForce MB drivers (which worked fine before
Monday).

and in BIOS). Even tried the supplied drivers with the new card vs. the
windowsXP drivers and tried 1-3 again. Windows reports Ethernet is enabled
and working via device manager (it did with onboard also).

Plus, it seems counter productive for a virus which propagates via internet
to block internet access anyway.

you think it can be the MB?
