Ethernet NIC works in 7 not xp on same laptop
Boggin:
Wonder if it's worth changing the Wired AutoConfig to Automatic and Starting it ?
It would mean it will be on all of the time - if it works, but will only be effective when you wire up.

Can't remember if I tried that (getting lost in all the stuff I've tried), but I did force start it. Didn't help.

I noticed a few minutes ago that my desktop computer, always connected via ethernet cable to router, doesn't start wired auto config, yet it always works! I just turned on the ailing laptop to do some comparison and discovered that it connects via ethernet cable, but very slowly as the attached screenshot shows. I'm now using driver version 5.810.1218.2012 for the wired NIC.
Boggin:
Are you using the same Ethernet cable for the laptop as you are for the desktop and is the download speed on the desktop as it should be ?

No, not the same cable. However, remember that when I boot the laptop into Windows 7, the speed is excellent on the same cable. The desktop speed is also excellent.
