Re: Help! Network stopped working from WinXP Tablet PC

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



I tried a LinkSys WRT54G using ethernet cable and the problem is

I have only two options left.

(a) Re-init the hard disk to factory settings
(b) send it out for "repair"

I'll try the (a) and will let you know.

Thanks
