Problem connecting to net with rescue cd

[o4tuna]

Hello,

I was ill a few days ago and in bed stumbling LOL cat pictures when I got hammered by a drive-by trojan. I'm sure I will have to do a complete install of windows and all my stuff, but I wanted to get the pc working to the point where I could move files off one drive to another.

So, I started trying out various linux based rescue cd's, Avira, BitDefender, F-Secure, and all off them will not connect to the internet. I have a att two wire modem set to bridge mode and a linksys router. I'm using this set up to send this message with off my laptop wired to the router. Also, from my laptop I can view the shared folder on the infected pc. So, to me it seems that it should work.

Any suggestions? I did have to replace the onboard lan with a pci lan card, but I did turn off the onboard lan and the (cheap) lan card shows up on slot 1 using irq 10 during post.

Thanks

What cheap card it is, what chip is on it?

It is a Dynex DX-E102 10/100mb card.

I've read a post else where that stated that if;

"the WOL is disabled in the Windows driver, Windows will disable the card after every shutdown or reboot, making it uninitializable for Linux.

The work-around to this it to check the option box "Wake-On-Lan after shutdown" in Windows device manager."

So, I guess that's the answer.

Thanks for your reply.
It helped.
