- Fresh install of Windows XP SP2
- Installed latest nVidia nForce 2 drivers (v5.10) which are required for ethernet (motherboard is Epox 8RDA+)
- A single network connection appears
- When activated, it takes 1 - 2 minutes, but it eventually gets the correct IP and gateway and DNS information from my router
- Windows does not present any errors anywhere at all
So, I try to connect to the internet. Won't do it:
- ping localhost works, but
- ping 192.168.1.254 (my routers's IP) doesn't work (timeout)
- ping <any intranet or internet host> doesn't work;
- resetting WinSock (netsh winsock reset) didn't solve the problem;
- resetting the IP thingy (netsh int ip reset);
- obviously I tried rebooting, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling XP again, etc
- and other computers (running various OSs including XP) work just fine on the same router with dynamic IPs
The weird thing is:
- in any of the Linux distributions I tried, the networking works perfectly on the same computer!
Does anyone have any idea how I can make my ethernet work in XP?
Never had this problem before in my life. I'm on the verge of throwing the machine through the window...
Thanks in advance!

Connecting to the internet doesn't work either (like I said). I tried both with and without Windows Firewall enabled. My router only has an ingoing firewall, and all other connected computers do just fine anyway.
