    Network connectivity problems! Making me cry!

    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.

    Ask a silly question, but is the ethernet card confirmed working? Is the disconnected network icon actually represent that card or could it be showing the status of a wireless network connection or something else?

    Well.... Got it working now, randomly enough. God knows what I've done, but I'm not turning it off now
