From: NickH on
I have the the same problem too. On Windows 2000
Tried re-install of Windows
Clearing any Wake-ON-Lan settings in the BIOS
Showing No-present devices and trying to delete those
Resetting network settings with winsockxpfix (works on W2K)

Still no luck.
Cost me a day so far but I seen the same problem in experts-exchange where
it cost the guy several days and a whole new PC
