After disabling the onboard LAN from the BIOS, restarting into XP, did you install
the driver for that NIC? As I said, the NIC won't show up on the device manager,
so you add it manually via add hardware and when asked if XP should look for the
proper driver, click NO, I will chose the device, on the next screen, select Network
Adapters, and click on Have Disk to ge the driver you want installed. when finished,
restart, and go into the BIOS to enable the LAN again. I tested this process several
times just to make sure after I saw your post, it works every time.
Good luck.
