View 14 Replies View RelatedI've installed Windows 2000 Pro on a laptop computer from Fujitsu Siemens (from year 2000). I am using a Swedish version, so I guess it won't help if I repeat the error-message I get when I am trying to hibernate the computer. However, when I choose to hibernate, the screen flickers and then throws a error-message saying that the system is unable to hibernate because of a driver named "Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)". I've been trying to change this driver to other versions and different alternative drivers, but I haven't succeeded. Another strange thing is that after a reboot I am able to hibernate, but right after that if I try to hibernate again I'll get that message.

Got infect by a virus, virus was removed by Kaspersky. After virus removal both the 10/100 NIC and the wireless adapter, and the bluetooth have indicated that they are disconnected. However from device manager they show up as working properly, which they are not as I cannot connect to the internet and there is a red X on all three icons in the system tray. I am wondering if a system file related to network connectivity was afftected and subsequently deleted by kaspersky

View 8 Replies View RelatedI bought a NC100U-WM Network card from Walmart and got everything working I think, except that while the box says that it is compatible with XP, the floppy doesn't have anything on it that would correspond to XP ... anyway, it looks like its working ok, all the lights light up - but the connection won't go anywhere except the centurytel diagnostics page.
I hooked earthlink back up and googled this card and seems like there is a lot of trouble with the drivers not being compatible with XP pro.... does anyone know a workaround - or should I take this back to Walmart ... and if so, what do I buy to work with DSL for century-tel - my computer didn't have an ethernet card on it
Am in the process of applying for Predator DSL service in place of my dialup service. One of the questions that is asked is "Does your computer have a
10/100 Ethernet card?" I can't answer that question because I really don't know. I checked for this info on the computer but can't find any info referring to an Ethernet card.

View 14 Replies View Relatedmy mother discovered the internet 1 year ago and now she's addicted to it and is going crazy without it! My sister unplugged her Dell PC, to move it, and for some reason the computer now isn't reading the Westell Modem for the internet. Called the ATT ISP and we figured out it wasn't the ethernet cable, instead, its the PC which just isnt reading the ethernet to get on the internet. When I did IPCONFIG the IP Address doesn't show up. This is basically what it says: c:Documents and SettingsDiana Cresswell>ipconfig.........

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this piece of equipment and even tho it's been discontinued, I found some information about this in the cnet.com archives. What I want to do is just easily hook up two computers (I also have the option to do this via USB cable), get them to see each other without setting up a true network, and transfer files back and forth. According to what I've read about this equipment no software installation is required nor is an operating system required.Will this equipment do what I want or is a workgroup network setup actually going to be required? I don't want to have to buy a separate USB cable that has the correct USB normal connections at both ends since most of what I have here already only has a USB connector at one end with another type (for a printer or firewire) connection at the other end and the second computer doesn't have firewire available.
