I have Acronis True Image v10 installed on my 900, and backup all drives to a file server on my home LAN. All works well - except during Recovery. Acronis does not "see" my network or any network adapters - it only allows for making a NDAS connection. The only time this happens is on the 900, on every other home PC / Notebook, Acronis sees the network and the network adaptors. Does anyone know if the 900 has a proprietary Ethernet arrangement? I ended up copying the Acronis recovery backup to a USB drive and restoring from there.

it might happen if your xp in your eeepc is nlited and you removed something needed in the network config.

It is a full Windows XP Pro install - no nLite (that failed on 8 tries). Also remember, Acronis "sees" the network on backup, just not recovery ... hmmm now I wonder if I need to make an Acronis Recovery Disk unique to the 900 ... I'll try it.

I just created an Acronis Recovery Disk unique to the 900 ... it still does not detect a network or any network adapters ... so I ask ... is the Asus network arrangement so unique that Acronis can't detect it?
Thanks.

My Acronis (although it is ver.11) sees the windows network fine, and I can recover from a image on another machine on my LAN ok. The only thing odd is that I can't pull individual files from the archive, only restore compete partitions (the network map in the part of the recovery wizard relating to restoring individual files from partition archives doesn't show the LAN). Normally on the Windows machines I can recover individual files ok.

Oh, my bad, yeah, I'm using Acronis 11 as well. You might want to upgrade to 11 as well.
Pulling individual files would only work on the host pc (I think) where the acronis archive. What you can do (maybe) is mount the archive as another drive on the host pc, then share that drive to the network. That way, the other pc on the network can see the individual files.

Download the demo of v.11 and use that to make a version 11 recovery disk to restore with. You can still use 10 to make the backups.

First - thanks for all of the comments and assistance.
Neither Acronis True Image 10 or 11 can deal with the 900's Ethernet Adapter. But Acronis 10 and 11 work fine on all my other PCs. The 900s "eth0" comes up as always "unplugged" ... so entering a correct IP assignment won't work because it remains "unplugged". At the end of the day I can backup and restore to an attached USB drive - no problems, works fine. It is a mystery why the network - only to the 900 - is "unplugged".

Update: For whatever reason, Acronis v10 or 11 + EeePC 900 does not like being plugged into an Ethernet Switch (hanging off a router) for Recovery - it can't find a network or any network shares - in fact Acronis sees it as "cable unplugged". I plugged the 900 directly into a router port, bypassing the Ethernet Switch, and Acronis found the Network. Done.
