I have just completed a clean installation of XP professional and tried to reinstall the network driver but it is still not registering. I have a gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L motherboard and downloaded the driver from the giabyte website but when I go to device manager it is not identifying my ethernet connection. Any ideas?

Did you download the Realtek driver? (not the utility) If still a problem List any Problem devices
- Make sure devices are connected and powered on
- Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
- Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
- If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post
- On the other hand, if no devices are listed, tell me so
- Click Start->Run, enter dxdiag and click OK
