The same thing happens when I plug the cable from the modem (which normally goes into the router) directly into the D-Link port-it says a cable is unplugged, but the diagnostic tool is still able to test the cable. (The cable test also says there's a short in two of the "cable pairs" - what does that mean? I know the cable works though.) I can also run the tool that tests the linkup and it makes the light on the port flash, so I know the computer can access the port.
(The same thing happened when I installed my Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum drivers, but again, I've been using the SB for years, and it seems to work fine on the new installation as well.) There are diagnostic tests in the Properties of the D-Link it can successfully test the cable it's connected to, but Windows still says a cable is unplugged. Does that matter? I know it works with Windows XP - I've been using it for years (under SP1 and SP2, not SP3).

6.23) that the new installation had before I updated it, so it should have worked fine without needing an update.) When Windows prompted for the disk to install the original D-Link drivers, it said the adapter had "failed Windows logo testing". (Also, the driver on the old HDD with the original XP installation, which I'm actually using to post this message, has the same older driver (v. I updated the D-Link driver to the latest version, but that didn't fix it. However, when I connect the ethernet cable to the D-Link port when booted onto the new HD with XP SP3, it lights up but Windows says "A network cable is unplugged". I'd rather use the D-Link adapter versus the integrated VIA one since I've used up til now and know it works. Both ethernet ports show up as Local Area Connections under "LAN or High Speed Internet" in "Network Connections".
I can't remember why the people who built my computer added the D-Link card, but someone told me the VIA ethernet/audio driver has been known not to work well and that's probably why they did it. The addon is D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
In Device Manager, the ethernet port on the motherboard is VIA PCI 10/100mb Fast Ethernet Adapter. So it would be using the default ones that Windows XP already has, right? There are two ethernet ports on my system - one on the motherboard, the other a PCI card.

I didn't install any of the drivers for the motherboard or chipset.

Once the XP installation and update to SP3 finished on the new drive, I installed drivers for my sound card and then installed Zonealarm firewall (although I hadn't connected the ethernet cable yet).
It has to be something inside the new Windows installation that's causing this problem, I just don't know what or where to look. I can switch back to my old hard drive with the original installation of Windows XP SP2 (by swapping the Molex and IDE cables back to it), and the internet works fine, exactly as before, so I know the cables are functioning and the PCI card is seated correctly. Other computers are connected to the router and they're working fine so I know the problem isn't with the router or connection. Modem connects to the router input, the computers connect to the router outputs. I have a cable internet connection through a Netgear router. I clean-installed Windows XP SP1 (from an OEM disk) onto a new hard disk yesterday, and immediately upgraded directly to SP3.
