The service center guys, replaced my hard with their XP installed hard
and plugged in their router and it worked and so they said there is no
problem in NIC. and instead asked me to check the router or format the
machine. but my router works in other machines. :(
so is it something i formatting the machine would solve the prob?

thank you very much
