Can't Get PCMCIA 3com network card to work
Hi, I'm having similiar problems to other people who have posted here. Older
computer, reinstalled from factory recovery CD's, now network won't work. I have a windows 98 SE laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300) with a 3COM PCMCIA network card (3COM Megahertz 589E). The card and computer was working fine, using my DSL connection until I decided to reinstall the entire system to factory defaults with the original setup CD's that came with the laptop. I no longer use this computer, so I wanted to "clean it up" so I could sell it. Unfortuantly, now the network connection will not work. I have downloaded and transferred the driver for the card, and the "PC Card Properties" dialog recognizes the card as being in Socket 1. I've tried both drivers that came in zipped package (Net589b.inf and Net589n5.inf) with no success. In Device Manager, under Network adapters, it appears as either "disabled" or as having a problem. The message it gives when it says there is a problem is "NDIS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver (Code 2). To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device driver." I've done this (several times). No help. I re-extracted these two VXD files from the CAB files. Ho help. I've physically removed and re-connected the cable and PCMCIA card. Restarted the system multiple times. Have setup the TCP/IP settings and network adapter settings in "Network". Any ideas of what I'm missing? Thanks! |

Can't Get PCMCIA 3com network card to work
If you clean installed then you will need to run through the update process
on v4.windowsupdate first. Before that use device manager or uninstall to remove the problem driver/device. After, we can help sort out any problems. Sorry, I know you wanted a quick fix, but the updates will make a difference. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org a Peoples' counsel Windows diagnostics/Security/Networking: http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm _ _ ~~ "Shelly" wrote in message ... | Hi, I'm having similiar problems to other people who have posted here.

Can't Get PCMCIA 3com network card to work
Thanks, MEB. After letting the system sit all night, I reinstalled the
factory default environment from the CD again. Followed some advice I'd received last night about extracting NDIS.VXD and NTKERN.VXD from the CAB files. Then went through the installation of the PCMICA driver, and Ta-Da! It's working. Must have gone through too much trial-and-error last night and messed everything up. I am now going to do all the updates from the MS site for Win98 (those that are available) and I should be good to go. Thanks!!
