NIC Card won't start ....

    Hi,
    My Marvell Yukon Network Adapter is built into my Intel Motherboard and it DOES work - but it will NEVER start at first bootup - I ALWAYS have to RESTART!
    I'm operating WinXP SP3 on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, with a Creative Broadband Blaster 8133U attached by CAT5 cable for the Internet Connection.
    I've looked in the Startup List using Msconfig [and only confused myself more!] - there was no mention of any driver for the Network Adapter...?
    Can anyone help me get it to start automatically with Windows startup??

    Thanks!

    look in device manager... it will be listed there. Check what options it gives you there.

    Thanks Dubfir but...
    The entry in Device Manager doesn't seem to offer any option relating to starting the card's function - so that doesn't help.
    I've tried re-installing the drivers for the Chipset [just last night!] and re-checked the Intel motherboard site [Intel D915GEV-AA-C63667-C1] to be SURE that I had the CORRECT drivers for my Marvell Yukon onboard LAN. The Driver Setup doesn't offer the user any option for startup changes either....
    NOTHING seems to change the fact that it runs ONLY after a RESTART!!!!!
