I had the same problem, and it was most definatly SP2 that caused it.
The only solution i found was to System restore it, get SP2 off and not install it again. Before that, SP2 did it to me and i formatted the PC, and when i reinstalled the OS, put SP2 on and it killed it straight away. Now i have a Realtek network card in so its a bog standard common card and it killed that connection :-(
There are a couple of big threads on here about SP2 , best to read about those.
Id say, the only way i have found to repair it is with System Restore.

Sound advice from Kev - thread closed, and I'll be adding a link to the main SP2 thread in a moment. :)

This is a fairly long discussion but it does cover a wide range of the issues people have had with SP2.
