Hmmm... [think, think, think...]
Try plugging it into a hub or router and see if the green activity light comes on. If not, the port may be toast. The hardware, if working, usually responds to a physical connection whether the driver is loaded or not.
There might also be a loose jumper on the motherboard that enables the port. It's a long shot, I know, but it sometimes happens. If you have the manual check it out.
If any network card appears in the Device Manager, delete it and reboot - Windows should detect it and reinstall it for you. Failing that, try booting into Safe Mode with Networking and see if that finds the port.
Or you could whack it with a stick; it won't help, but it always makes me feel better when I'm totally stumped.

Wright,
Thanks alot for the reply. I've resolved the issue.
All the configuration BIOS was correct.
It was a simple technique, that I opened cover and i could see that NIC is and integrated one. So rebooted the machine and in the POST screen I checked the mother number identification number. it was Intel GAG (Sorry I can't recall that series number) Chipset and downloaded the required drivers from the intel website itself.
Thanks a lot for helping me out.

Glad to hear it's fixed!
Good job of diagnosis - it's often far from easy to analyze and correct a fault like this.

Try to check your windows edition. Go to Run and type winver.exe. If your computer running windows xp home edition, then you could not use gpedit.msc.

Not too many people here use Linux, so you probably won't get an answer here. But if you want a good site for Linux help, I would suggest Linux Forums.

Wonder if any1 could help me out with a litle problem, i need to modify the file that control the the sound effects on windows xp systems or.., my problem is: I have customized the "start windows" .wav file, the .wav files starts, no problem with that, but windows ends it after 30 sec.
I think, if i havent got this total wrong, windows got a time limit on how long the "start windows" .wav is gonna play before it times out and windows stops it.
When i set the same .wav as "windows Logon" melody, it plays it all to the end.
So my question is, is there a way to modify that file to extend/remove the timeout of the startup .wav ?
Any help would be apreatchiated

|

There is no timeout in the WAV file. There is also no configuration in an .INI or Registry setting to change this, as far as I could determine. It looks like it's hard-coded to play for a maximum of 30 seconds.

Easy. Drop the WAV file, or a link to it, in your StartUp folder.

Hi, I have a problem with open/save dialog box in windows xp. In microsoft word or any other office application, when I need to open or save a document, I have a problem which I click on the Look in combobox to change the or folder location. My computer become slow or not respon and sometime it took around 5mn to display the drop down list. It is really difficult to deal with this issue.
From here, I would like to know what is the cause of the problem that make the Look in combo box take very long time to display it list item (drive or folder)? How could I solve this problem?

This could be cause by a couple of things. One, your computer may be cluttered, so I would suggest scanning for Mal-Ware, running a disk cleaning app, and then defragging your hard drive. If that doesn't work, then you probably have slow/worn out hardware, which needs to be replaced.
How old/fast is your processor?

You have a decent setup, so your hardware shouldn't be giving you problems. You should try defragging and running a disk cleaning utility (I would recommend CCleaner). That should help a lot.

Thank you very much for your comment. I will try to use CCleaner.

Do you have mapped network drives? If the drives are pointing at servers that are slow or offline, that would cause that behavior.

Why network drive cause that problem. If the network drive is offline, it should be ignore the drive and display the list of the folder in the combobox.
Thank you very much for your reply

The shell has to ping the server, and it takes a short amount of time to timeout. Until it times out, the shell looks hung because the UI thread is blocked on the network communication.

Does anyone have a simple C program to display an image on a linux.

Your question should be: Does anyone know a good Linux form where I can ask my questions?
