Dear Experts

I have MotherBoard ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 in the link below :

http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P5GC-MX/1333&p=1&s=22&hashedid=PYvbfOokwxUzJky3

Every thing was working fine (XP Prof SP3) till my mate upgraded the BOIS after that Onboard LAN Adapter got missing from the Device Manager and the LAN icon got missing from my "Network Place ".

I did a fresh installation of windows still the same problem is going on, then I realized the problem with BIOS.

I have checked BIOS and I enabled every thing that I would have thought is related to onboard LAN but still no joy.

What should I do to rectify the problem

Thanks

 

Why did they update the BIOS in the first place. BIOS should not really be updated unless you are having a problem that it could fix. You should ask first. Are you sure that you save what you did in the BIOS before you exited it?

 

I know that should not have happened from the first place.

But this has already happened ,,,,what would be the suggestion ?

Yes

 

Either you flash the older version , if you have a backup or go out & buy a new LAN card.

 

Did you download and install again the latest LAN drivers from the ASUS website.

The problem the BIOS does not come as .exe format it is a .ROM format,,I have to figure out to use it to flash (revert) the current one to the previous version

Thanks

 

I had already tried that and it didn't get installed I do not why

Regards
