the correct way to do what gm is talking about and the easiest way is to remove all your hardware drivers before removing your old componets that way windows does not get confused (which happens verry easily long live linux!) shutdown and then install your new stuff and reinstall over the old windows installation or repair
as for your newest problem double check that your nic drivers are installed correctly like bucky said. If they seem to be ok remove them and reinstall them. if that still does not work nuke your communication stack. and if that doesn't work then just buy a new nic they are too cheap now to deal w/ a major hastle.

Ha ha ha A linux fanboy on a gaming website! LMAO... next he will be boasting about how good solitaire runs under the latest version of X. Also, in terms of hardware support and plug 'n' play Windows 2000/XP02003 is miles ahead of any linux distro I have ever used... its a well known and well supported fact that linux hardware support is only good for legacy hardware, because it takes the linux geeks years to write open-source drivers!
Oh and LS... you are forgiven! :thumbup: I dont hold grudges anyway...
