Sure it isn't a symptom of a bad network card? Boot up and it being half
baked, xp trying to establish a reasonable connection type thing?

I swapped out the main drive and put another drive with XP on in the hot
swap tray - though I brought the machine down of course during the swap. But
that way, I know it is not something I installed that screwed things up. The
initial drive with XP on is totally removed from the system.
Prior to this, I had been having intermittent problems with a drive and then
the floppy. Moved those to a different connector from the power supply and
those seem to be o.k. right now. I also replaced the drive cables, etc at
the same time, so I cannot be TOTTALLY satisfied that it is one device over
another right now.
The system itself is a SuperMicro motherboard X6DAE-G2, with 2 @ 2.8 Xeon
processors and 2 GHz of memory.
I have unplugged the majority of my USB devices to make sure it wasn't a
device going wacko.
I have un-installed all programs such as Nero, magic ISO, etc, which have
device drivers that may be the issue.
Both versions of WinXP (on different drives) reported no problems under
system (i.e., no conflicts)
I have checked out the power supply with the little tester made by CoolMax
and that reported no problems.
Under the bios I check the voltages and this is what I show for my Enermax
651
VCoreA 1.240
VcoreB 1.360
P3V3 3.408
P5V 5.211
N12V -12.834
P12V 12.034
Vdd 5.136
P5Vsb 5.112
Now the N12V seems particularly high, but a number a high, just not as much.
Replacing a Power Supply is probably $150 to $200 proposition and right now
it is not a good time, but if it necessary then...
It seems that the only other thing it could be would be the motherboard.
Anyway your thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks
