Please could someone provide me with a full set of configuration settings for
the Leica SP5's Intel Pro fibre optic network card running under XP?

OUr SP5 computer blew its motherboard some 5 weeks ago and we are still not
back in operation. A loan Win7 machine from the factory doesn't work
(suspect corrupt hardware tree repository in latest software). 

After weeks of frustration and at Leica's request, I have now built a 
replacement PC with exact same CPU, motherboard and Intel Pro fibre optic 
network card (all sourced off of eBay) and loaded latest software from 
engineer (v4.2). 

It all loads OK and communicates to scan head as we can hear all the normal
startup rumbles etc. But when we go live, if scan resolution and speed are set 
above about 50x50 pixels at 700 Hz, the system freezes after the first 
raster!!!! 

Neither engineer, nor me  knows why but a suspicion is the configuration of
the fibre optic network card connection between scanner and PC.

If anyone could send me a full set of screenshots of all the configuration
tabs for the card (or manually write down all settings and mail them to me) 
and of all the installed windows components (from add remove software 
control panel /windows components options tab), or if anyone has rebuilt a 
SP5 computer from scratch and knows all of the settings,  I would be 
extremely grateful to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
