Hi Scott,
Despite both network card RJ-45 green LEDs turning ON when the cable is placed in a switch, NIC showing its working properly in Device Manager , no Conflicts, no previous Network drivers and/or any other drivers installed previously, testing CAT 6 cable with a known-good spare... The network icon on the system tray remains with a red cross.
PS: Other machines are working well on the same network!

Do the LEDs on the *switch* indicate that the cards are connected? If not, then replace the switch. Otherwise follow the steps in the articles I detailed here. Let me know what the problem and/or solution turns out to be. Scott.

Thanks Scott,
Yes, the LEDs on the switch are indicating card connection and the switch is working well with other computers. I tried to change the cable to other ports on the switch, though that has not helped out. I've tried to restore the system to an earlier restore point and that has not helped out either. Currently, I'm trying to replace the NIC and I'll get back to you soon.
PS: I've sent this post without having first read through the link you have posted, though I tried Windows Network Diagnostics for XP eariler.

It was a NIC problem! When I replaced with a known-good spare, things worked out well!

Maybe bit late now but have you considered that the IP/DNS address possibly set-up wrong?
Also seen NIC's that have some of the pins stuck down. On laptop's checking these pins can avoid a MB replacement if crucial.
