Is that Intel Gigabit Adapter a separate card?
Did you try removing it-- and wiping all the drivers for it?
It sounds to me like Windows is having hardware recognition problems in normal boot

Hello all!

In my troubleshooting, I have noticed I can go into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING - and I can access Internet and network. However, if I boot into Windows without "uninstalling" my adapters as detailed in previous posts, the LAN card I installed does not exist in IPCONFIG, and all numbers are zero's for the built in LAN (as you might expect since they are not plugged in). Also, when I reboot, I do NOT have any sound and mixer.exe shows a GPF. This leading me to believe that there might be a driver issue when Windows boots into "normal" mode....I can't believe that other software is messing with the NIC's or it would exhibit the behavior when I install the cards again.

I NEED HELP.......

I did install a few programs, but uninstalling them did not help...I uninstalled Windows updates back to June and that also provided no relief. Lastly, I have noticed that if I shut down my computer without goign through the normal shut down process(shudder!)I am able to access network upon restart again. If I let it "save" my settings, no access.

I have found I can access the network in safe mode (with networking) but if I reboot without uninstalling the adapters in safe mode, I have no network at all. I also tried to use SFC /SCANNNOW, but I get an error "Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache" When I insert my Windows XP Pro w SP2 disk (the one I got from my maufacturer) it states under more information that "you have inserted the wrong cd or a different windows product than the version installed".

I am calling my PC manufacturer.....

The Intel card is an onboard LAN.....I remove the drivers and disable the adapter in device manager with the same results.

why dont you try to flush your dns ?
