Netgear FA311 NIC intallation problems with XP
Anyone,
I've recently installed a Netgear FA311 network interface card on my PC. However, when windows xp boots up, it tries to recognise the card, but driver installation fails. It recognises the type of device and model number via the the window bubble that pops up at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. However, when I have a look at the device manager, all that is listed is "Ethernet Controller" with a yellow exclaimation mark. When I right click and view Properties, the device status says "This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." When I click the Driver tab in properties, it shows that there is no driver installed. I have tried to get a driver from the netgear web site for windows xp, but there is none. The website states that the driver should be located on the windows xp cd. But I tried intalling the driver manually from the CD and there is no driver to be found. Can someone please help me! |

Netgear FA311 NIC intallation problems with XP
Try this:
1. Open device manager and REMOVE this device. 2. Reboot, enter BIOS setup. Find "reset configuration data" in PCI or PnP configuration. If there is such item, enable it. While you are there, note whether the "PnP OS" option is ON or OFF. 3. Boot XP and try to install again. Does it help? --PA "Kevin Jang" wrote in message ...
