I have xp on my desktop and laptop. (both legal) and both have a network card and they have had the network icon in the tray with a red X and the balloon says: Local Area Connection...a network cable is unplugged.

Well I went and bought a Cat 5E cable plugged it in to both fired em up and both still say the same thing. I tried to run the wizzard and it still says the same thing. In properties it says that the device(network card) is enabled and working properly.

Thanks!!
