Installing Ethenet card fails causing VXD tbl and loss of connectivity

Sorry, at this point, I'm not able to continue until I've had some rest. I'm
dealing with some insomnia, and my brain is on strike. I'll post back
tomorrow , latest (I'm on Pacific Time).

I pointed to the Win98 folder which contained a README.TXT file and the
NETDLFET.INF file. I mis-spoke about the INI file, I was looking on the
installation CD to see if they had the INF file. If it was accessable I
would have tried it to eliminate a corrupter file.


When you unzipped teh file into \Driver_File\, there should be another
folder inside that one called WIN98. THat is where the INF file is
located. You say something later about an INI file. That's not an INF
file.

Isolated two entries that caused some illegal messages, but not as wild as
before. I have 17 items now On. I turned off

DK Service which is associated with defragmenter called Diskeeper, file
name diskeeper.exe

and

ICSDCLT which in is C:\Windows, file name: rundll32.exe arguments:C:
\Windows\System\ecsdclt.dll.ICSClient.

and now I can boot up repeatedly with no chaffe.


Now the only issue is being able to communicate on the internet.

Did a few things but had no success:

To eliminate cable, swapped cable, then swapped ports on router.

Powered off all computers then varied the seqence I powered on to see IP
address of TOWER (the bad guy) would change, and it did. Also that I could
communicate intra net (swap files), and I could.

Did run:winipcfg, then release all and Renew all


Note that prior to attempting to install a new network card, the old card
worked fine. I could go to the interenet and intranet no problem. Would not
this eliminate the router?

Gary;

I also tried to install the D-Link DFE-530TX+ again when I noticed that I
gave you bum dope. We had the wrong diver.

I told you I had a DFE-530TX!! I have a Plus.

I noticed that the model was a DFE-530TX+ a plus. Went to the D-Link site
and downloaded the driver file: dfe530TX+_driver_5397.exe which is
different than dfe530TX_driver_10152001.exe, the one I tried to install.
Disappointedly, when I pointed the "Search for" to the win98 unzipped
folder, it again said it couldn't find a driver. Very frustrating.

This Win98 folder had the following files: DLDRTS.SYS; Netdlkr5.cat; and
NETDLKR5.INF.

Attempt to install network printer fails.

I tried to install a network printer on TOWER, thinking that if I can share
files this ought to work. It fails.

I have an Brother HL2070N, a network capable printer that is connected to
one of the ethernet ports on a NETGEAR WGPS606 wireless print server that
has 2 usb connectors and 4 Ethernet ports. All other computers have had
the HL2070N installed and can print, no problem.

In the original network card configuraton before trying to install a new
card, I had set up TOWER to print and it did. Unfortunately I did not make
a system image after I installed the Brother. Therefore in the present
condition, seeing how I could communicate intranet, I attempted to install
the Brother. It fails when the installation disk searches the network to
set up a peer to peer link I immediately get a Setup window with a "this
program has performed and illegal operation". In monitoring the LEDs on
the network card they didn't even blink.

More test results.

Diskkeeper could caused problems. ICS is internet connection sharing and
should be disabled/uninstalled is you're not going to use it, which your
aren't. It's in that same Windows Setup tab, Communications section.
