Hi,
I wasn't keen on networking in XP and i had NOT any kind of problem
under Windows 2000 with same hardware but i decided to upgrade XP SP2
Pro.

My ethernet adapter is Surecom EP-320X-S and i've updated driver to
2.74 from 2.60.

Then after several next boot-ups my computer started to freeze at
Welcome screen and display has gone away but after i unplug cable the
computer worked again.

However now, although my connection is fine, i can browse sites and
the cable is NOT faulty, after boot-up with the cable is plugged, the
taskbar icon says "Network cable is unplugged" but i can browse.

How to get rid of it?

Very thanks.
