Leica SP5 fibre network card settings?

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 go live, if set scan 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.

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 of all the installed windows components (from add remove software control panel / windows components options tab), or if anyone has rebuilt a SP5 computer and knows all of the settings,  I would be extreemely grateful to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
