Ethernet NIC works in 7 not xp on same laptop
sfeinbe:
An aside. I found working drivers for the audio!! For anyone else going crazy after trying well over a dozen drivers for XP 32 bit, they came from this link:

I have a folder full of the older drivers that I use in my automated installs of XP, it has the older realtek drivers, I could yank them out and post them for you, then you can try to manually add each driver and have the network card use it and see how it does.

I've tried so many drivers by now... Yes, please post them. It took me countless tries for the audio, but it finally worked. Unless you have a better idea...I hope!
Boggin:
It's possible the IRQ error could be causing the MAC Loopback error, although I've never come across it and not sure if it's just peculiar to XP - but go Start - Run - type msinfo32 - press enter - expand Hardware Resources/IRQ and that will show the status of each and which are sharing.
There's also Problem Devices when you expand Components you could check out.
Edit - I've found out roughly what the Phy and MAC Loopback are.

See attached for NIC IRQ. The problem devices were just two that didn't have drivers installed yet, but I have them and they worked.
