Dear Experts

I have MotherBoard ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 in the link below :

Every thing was working fine (XP Prof SP3) till my mate upgraded the BIOS after that Onboard LAN Adapter got missing from the Device Manager and the LAN icon got missing from my "Network Place".

I did a fresh installation of windows still the same problem is going oo

I have checked BIOS and I enabled every thing that I would have thought is related to onboard LAN but still no joy.

What should I do to rectify the problem ? Is this BIOS issue or windows issue ?

Thanks

Hmm interesting that I just saw your thread over at CoFo a few minutes go O.o Anyway, if you're positive the BIOS settings are correct, double check anyway and reset to factory default settings. If that doesn't work, look and see if it is possible to flash your BIOS back to a previous version.

Anyway, if you're positive the BIOS settings are correct,

This is correct to the best of my knowledge

If that doesn't work, look and see if it is possible to flash your BIOS back to a previous version.

I tried that but the old BIOS comes as .ROM file not .exe file

Did you reset the BIOS to Factory default as voyagerfan99 suggested?

Have you installed the LAN driver: Support for Motherboard P5GC-MX/1333
