After installing the 5308 Vista Build..and everything was working fine (except no audio, coz didnt found any working drivers for my sound card)...
I rebooted in XP
where i got a message saying: "network cable unplugged"
but everything was well conected and internet was working well in vista

I tried the following:
-system restore (nothing changed)
-i went into device manager, my network adapter was working fine, i re-installed my network drivers.. nothing changed either
-as someone on a forum suggested.. i disabled 2 services, UPNP Device Host and SSDP Discovery Service...nothing came out of that either
- i tried resetting the BIOS in case vista changed something.. nothing either

Here is some info on my setup..
I installed vista with a clean install, on a separate hardrive from where XP was..
And I have a lan at home, so my comp is plugged in my wired router..

I googled my problem but I only found a few ppl with the same issue as me after they had installed vista, but they did not have much replies..

Any suggestions on what I could try.. if not then at least what are my options?
can i reinstall xp over xp, or maybe "repair it", i dont wanna lose everything i have there tho..or maybe.. would it fix the problem if i uninstalled vista?

Thanks
