Hi Ed!

I thought of something odd: some time back I had a system running XP 
(may have been 64 bit) and on DSL.  Came home from work one day and that
computer would not connect to the Web yet the others would.  (I don't 
recall what those computers were running.)

Testing I found something weird: if the XP computer was plugged in to 
the 10/100/1000 Hub it would not connect to the outside world but if 
plugged into the DSL's 'Gateway' (modem/router) it would.  The gateway 
was 10/100.  So it seemed something happened to make the 1000 Mbps not 
work on the computer.

So if the NIC port on your XP has 10/100/1000 capabilities and it is
plugged into a hub or switch capable of 1000 Mbps maybe try moving it to
a hub/switch with a maximum of 100 Mbps and see what happens.
