(V): Its most confusing

I use the same Ethernet cable for this PC so i know thats ok.
Dry joints......seems doubtful to be on all 3 units. (i know all 3 were working networkly before the company sold them off)
The Ethernet card is on board, as in fixed straight to the mother board.
I used the same XP Pro instal disk as i put on here (and on my LapTop Sunday) so thats fine.

It is most perplexing, it does sort of say the disk......but

Universal Eyes: I have downloaded the up to date drivers for that pc onto a USB stick, and installed them from there, so they should be ok.
