I didn't know at the time that if I turned the option off, it would never give me that option again. I looked for some way to get back to that option, but I never found it, and I was hoping that someone would know where I could find it again.
EDIT: I don't know if a network card and a network adapter are the same thing, but all of the help stuff in XP talks about network adapters, and has doesn't have anything about network cards. So I might have a network adapter and not a card, but I don't know if that's possible or not.
