Yep, you need to go to Compaq and download the motherboard drivers for your specific machine. After you install those, the NIC will probably be recognized.

ok i have loaded the correct drivers from the cd and it still shows that the cable is unpluged..

this is intergrated into the motherboard is i possible that theses thing just stop working??

Do you see any errors in Device Manager? Have you tried a new cable, and a new port on the router?

yankeebean · 03-01-2007, 07:45 PM

yes i have tried all of the above with no success,

the device manage is showing it as working correctly.

i.ve take lead off working computers and pluged into this one -- no work- i have even placed working computers into the router ports and they all work,

im really not sure whats wrong..driving me mental

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

I'm running out of ideas. Have you uninstalled the drivers, rebooted and reinstalled them?

yankeebean · 03-04-2007, 06:46 PM

i guess thats not the same as unistalling thought the device manager

**johnwill** · 03-04-2007, 07:36 PM

If they appear in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, try uninstalling them there.
