T43 and lost ethernet network

[Specter]

I have a problem with an otherwise very good T43 with Windows XP Pro. I have suddenly lost the ethernet network. The device is there in Device Manager and is reported as working. However, I do not get an entry for it in "Network Connections", and so cannot check its properties.

I have tried a Linux live-CD and then the interface works properly and I can access the network. So it seems it is not a hardware problem but rather a Windows problem. Could it be a problem with resource sharing?

I have had another problem with the machine - the trusted platform module - and I was trying many things before getting it to work by disabling the "atmel legacy device" (or something like it). But in this process I remember I manually set one device to use IRQ 11, only I cannot remember which one anymore. I would like to set it to automatic again.

Is there anyone with ideas?

Thanks!

Have you tried un-installing and then re-installing the driver?

Hello ajkula66!

I have been "away" for christmas, but now I had the time to look at this again. You solved it! I had of course tried to reinstall the driver before, but I did not un-install it first. I should have known better.

Thanks, you have saved my christmas! Merry Christmas!
