Go into Control Panel, system and delete the card. Shut down and physically remove
the card. Now restart to let Windows adjust to it being gone, and then shut down
again. Re-install the card. Let Windows find a driver or supply a Win2000 one. If
this doesn't work get a new NIC. $25 bucks should cover it. Good Luck.
