I've installed all types of Realtek ethernet drivers and all the ones on the Gigabyte site, still the ethernet does not work...

Is there something I need off windows update or something? Since all I've done is slipstream SP2 onto an SP1 xp cd, no other windows updates.
Thanks

That explains that then :)

The card itself seems to be OK. You just dont seem to be picking up an IP address.
I'm guessing you have a DHCP server running on your router and have it issuing a sufficient number of addresses etc....?

Are you posting from another machine? Could you run an ipconfig on that and post back?

I dont think this is a router. Im with Virgin media, but using the modem for it that was here when I moved in. It's only got one ethernet output, which works fine on this laptop.

Very strange ipconfig on here though :)
