Basically I am running dual boot Win XP and Mandriva 06 system. After installing Linux, I've run through a few distros now finding mandriva to be the one I prefer, I've had a bitch of a problem with getting the network and internet running on either win xp or Linux. I've pretty much given up on Linux as I have a pretty strange network set-up at uni -but I'm not too bothered about that.-
My main focus is trying to get the net working again under XP. Now I know the cable isn't a problem as it works fine on my laptop. However, every time I boot into windows it just shows the lan connection as unconnected, which is a blatant lie; I'm starting to wonder if the problem is being caused by an obscure setting in Linux. The card itself is a Yukon gigabit ethernet built in jobby, I've run all the diagnostic programmes for it, none showing a problem, and uninstalled and reinstalled the device several times, with a handful of different drivers I could find, but to no avail. Any ideas?
Cheers in advance,
Baza.
