NIC drivers for Win 98
Okay....so here's my problem. I am far from a computer wizard so when my
Mom's computer (OS Win 98) wasn't working, I installed the recovery disk hoping this would fix the problem. As it turned out....there was nothing wrong with her computer, it was her monitor that wasn't working properly. Anyway, by re-installing the recovery disk, it bought her computer back to manufacturer status. Prior to this, she was hooked up to the internet via Verizon DSL. I try re-installing her verizon from the installation CD and I get a message telling me it does not detect a NIC. How can this be? She had been hooked up to the internet via Verizon prior to me messing up her computer. To make a long story short, they tell me I have to contact HP (she has an old Compaq Presario 5284) who in turn told me I have to pay $49.99 for them to help me out. Not that I'm cheap but wouldn't it be more cost efficient to just buy a new NIC? Or does anyone know where I can download the drivers she needs so her computer recognizes her NIC? Her network adapter says: PCI Fast Ethernet dec211430 based adapter. Sorry this is so long. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, Patty |
