HELP: Ethernet controller problem
I have a 5 1/2 years-old IBM Aptiva 520 running W98.
It was my kids' playing computer for a long time. Due to abuse (non-physical), I had to reinstall everything from the recovery CD, after formatting the hard disk. Everything else seems to be working OK, except the Ethernet controller. I used PC-Doctor from "How to" Aptiva feature to see the list of PCI devices. It shows the following. Bus 0 Device 15 Function 0: Device Class: 02H 00H (00H) Ethernet Controller Vendor ID: 10ECH Realtek Device ID: 8139H (Revision 10H) Interrupt: 10 I tried to install/update device driver through "Update Device Driver Wizard." I saved all floppy disks and CD's that came with the system many years ago, but none has the driver I need. So I selected "Display a list of all the drivers in a specific location, so you can select the driver you want" option from the Wizard. It shows tons of manufacturers and adapters. It shows Realtek and 3 of its adapters, but it does NOT show 8139H. I have tried all 3 Realtek adapters. None worked. I tried other vendors and other adapters (out of desperation). None worked. When I type "ipconfig" from DOS prompt, I get "IP ConfigurationFatal Error Cannot read IP configuration" error message. I Googled the web, and got the latest driver from the Realtek web site, but the computer says, it already has the best driver for the adapter and won't update the driver. How do I recover from this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

It does not show any Realtek Ethernet adapter drivers.
Is it possible that PC-doctor showed wrong adapter information? "Haggis" wrote in message ... "JKC" wrote in message ... I have a 5 1/2 years-old IBM Aptiva 520 running W98.
