NOTE: With the Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems,
if a network adapter was previously properly installed and was subsequently
removed, you may believe that the network adapter card is working, when in fact it
is not present. If you complete the steps to establish your network settings, and
these continue to fail, verify that the network adapter card is still physically installed
in the client computer.
