XP Home Lan Connection

I had to completely re-install XP Home recently - my wireless works fine. I
also have a direct Lan connection - it will only send, will not receive. I
have the driver installed and have turned off Windows firewall. I do not
have any antivirus loaded yet. Any ideas would be appreciated. I feel like
this is probably simple and I cannot see the forest for the trees.

What precisely do you mean by this? "LAN" is the type of network, in other
words your Wireless connection is a "LAN" connection, so please be more
precise.

I have two connections - one wireless and one through a NIC card. The NIC
card will only send, not receive. Sorry for the confusion!

Could it be a bad cable?

Nope tried that - same cable works on another machine. Used new cable - same
result.

When I open the network connection status window, there are packets sent, but
received is always 0. Does that help?

In the Network connections window it shows packets sent, but 0 received.
Does that help?

So why would you expect to see received packets? Can you access your network
drives? Can you access the Internet? Can you send and receive email?
