@ Lasereth

yes. when i did a wipe, i used the eMachines "restore" disks to restore it to factory condition. everything worked after doing that up until recently.

i've checked eMachines' site for update drivers. nothing.
i've installed the latest Intel drivers too. nothing.
i've installed the 3Com drivers (for the PCI card). nothing.
i've installed a Kingston card. nothing.

???

@ Cyrnel

the board uses an Intel chipset. i'll check for an update on that, but i'm hesitant to update anything that wasn't done in the past... originally this machine came to me for a Video Controller issue. not sure if one has anything to do with the other, but it didn't have the network adapters problem prior to a week ago.

P.S. - thanks for the responses so far!
