You may need to download the XP driver for when you boot into that partition http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Drivers installed from that page before I posted.

General Computer Support / Ethernet NIC works in 7 not xp on same laptop

« on: October 11, 2014, 05:30:17 pm »

I have an HP DM1-4010us entertainment laptop that I bought used recently.  It came with Windows 7 64 bit.  I installed Windows XP pro sp3 32 bit on a second partition to dual boot.  The ethernet NIC works perfectly in Windows 7, but not in Windows XP.  The attached is screenshot of the problem that the network diagnostic scan showed in XP.  The address 192.168.8.1 is that of the router.  I'd appreciate any help.  This is one of the oddest problems I've ever encountered!
