Default turn on printer and broadband turns into dialup

A neighbor installed a Canon printer in an XP system with Comcast broadband
cat5'ed to a nic card.

With the printer off, all is as usual.

Hit the power switch and the internet screeches to a
snail's pace. Just like, or even worse than dial-up.

Anybody have any ideas on what's causing this?

I couldn't find anything.

Thanks,

Mike

ESCD, hmmm.... never heard of it.
Reset? As in there is an option under a fild named ESCD
of reset somewhere in the bios, or reset as in pull the battery and jumper
the clear cmos pins?

YES/NO exists?

Long long ago, that would have been one of those
decrepit 3Com cards that demanded a special
interrupt .. generally IRQ 3 or 5. See if the stupid
thing has a coax connector.

thanks Jad, for your help. I set the mobo to defaults, etc.,
this morning, but still got the problem.
I fixed it, though, sort of.
Guess what? Well, he had a usb2
card installed, and the printer was plugged into that.
I pulled it, and plugged into a USB1 slot on the mobo, and that solved the
problem.
The card was installed correctly, no yellow exclaimation marks in hardware
device, etc. so... ??? Not a "real" fix, but an acceptable workaround.

Mike
