Cannot Coonect to the internet after Startup when using a USD Hard

Posted: 08-03-2007, 05:56 PM
Hi

I have a 400gb hard drive, If I boot window when the drive is on, windon
will not connect to the internet, Windows thinks there is a problem network
card!

If I turn off the USB drive and reboot windows work fine. Its I pain
sometimes.

Can anyone help?

When you have USB drive connecting, can you ping yahoo.com?
