Ethernet adapter help please
ASUS P4P800 deluxe, a P4 2.6GHz 800MHz FSB, two 256M
DDR 400 rams, and a 350W power supply. From my old sytem: Two 40G hard drives, a floppy drive, a cd reader, a cd writer, and an MX420 PCI graphics card. Installed XP pro. Everything works fine except connection to the internet. Installed software for the Analog Devices audio from the ASUS CD to have sound. Installed all the drivers and software for the 3COM network adapter from the same CD, but, no success. So, I have put a PCI network card (HP EN1207D) from my old system into one of the PCI slots and that is how I am connected now! Isn't the 3Com adapter supposed to be enough for connection? What am I doing wrong? Please help this newbie! Thanks, Navid |

The only related thing I can find in the bios is under Obnoard Devices Config, which is OnBoard LAN, which was enabled by default and I did not change that. Under that option, there is also "OnBoard LAN Boot ROM" which was disabled by default. I tried that both enabled and disabled. Neither fixes the problem. |

The cable modem was looking for the mac address of your old nic card... -- Stacey |

Sounds like a faulty motherboard.
