The fault bucket it gave me was 0xA_Rtlh86!MiniportSendNetBufferList+de,type0 Since you didn't tell us what "been through all the advice given" actually means you did, all I can suggest is: A. Update to the latest (or reinstall if you have the latest) drivers for your ethernet card. Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from: 1. The device mftr.'s website; OR 2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.). Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers. To find out what hardware is in your computer: 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer. 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway) 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows B. If A. above doesn't work and you have a desktop computer, uninstall the ethernet adapter (NIC) and shut down. Physically remove the card and replace it with a known-working NIC. If the NIC is on the motherboard, disable it in the BIOS and put in a PCI NIC. PCI NICs are very inexpensive so this is no big deal. If you have a laptop machine, contact the laptop mftr.'s tech support. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |
