I was given 2 IBM base units and a laptop. They were ex-company stuff, and all worked fine when they were networked in the enviroment.
I have installed new opertaing systems on them (just XP Pro, which they were using before).
Now the problem...... none of them will recognise the onboard Ethernet.
I have tried everything i can think of.
It knows the Ethernet is there, but thats it. In the device manager is showing as a problem along with the Vidoe Controller & Multimedia Audo Controller. I have been onto the IBM sites, found the correct drivers etc... downloaded them to a usb stick, and installed them. Still nothing.

Ideas anyone ?

MadMonkey: ethernet cable itself... dry joints... the IBM's used a weird install disc?? Have you plugged in an alternative ethernet card?

With all those problems, it sounds like a common problem rather then a specific hardware bug. Can you get an original disk for the machines.. it does sound like the install wasn't correct.
