Microsoft's troubleshooting advice -- to deactivate the Wireless Zero Configuration service -- did not help. It was already deactivated, probably by the SMC install process. Deactivating the LAN connection did not help, either.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this -- registry settings, etc.? Or is the driver -- despite SMC's claims -- simply XP incompatible?

I have a suspiciously similar problem in a simpler sandbox. I work under HyperOS 2004SE. I have a ZyXel Prestige ADSL Router. Connected to it be LAN. Works fine on several XP partitions and a Linux partition. My (almost - ha, ha) virgin XP SP2 partition on C: has extra:Firewall, AVG anti-virus and Skype (like all the other XP partitions). IE WILL NOT connect, except if I dial up. Here comes the clincher: Skype works! Ping to Router works.
All the proper lights are on, I went through the setup procedure many times (as I did in the other partitions) NO GO.
I suspect this is an XP problem. Anybody any ideas?
Thanks.
