Problem with Ethernet Driver for PCI Ethernet NIC
I have problem with PCI Ethernet NIC: at turn my computer on, I got
Windows wizard manager prompt to install new driver for PCI Ethernet NIC: "This wizard searches for new drivers for Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet NIC". So windows detected new network card. I've tried to investigate problem, and one possible reason is that driver for my network card was damaged. I decided reinstall driver and deleted it: Network - Configuration tab - Remove "Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet NIC" But this deleted also the two other components: Client for Microsoft Networks and TCP/TP. Then I tried reinstall component: in Network window, click 'Add' - 'Select network component Type' - 'Adapter' - select 'Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet NIC' adapter and double clicked on. This action add also two other network components, Client for Microsoft Networks and TCP/TP. Then I checked 'Device Manager' and see that Network adapeters have problem: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4493/missingcm4.jpg So where I can get Ethernet Driver? I have no Ethernet driver driver diskette. Then, how to test all devices, all files restored properly? mistral |

Problem with Ethernet Driver for PCI Ethernet NIC
First, click Start Settings Folder Options View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK. Click Start Find File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file named NETRTP.INF If not found, you will have to locate the driver online and download it. If found, note the location (probably in the Windows\Inf or Windows\Inf\Other folder). Restart in SAFE MODE, open Device Manager, expand the "Other" category and remove everything from it. Expand the "Network Adapters" category and remove all entries there for the RealTek card. Click OK and restart in normal mode. Windows will detect the RealTek NIC....if it does not find the driver, point it to the location of the NETRTP.INF file. You may be prompted to insert your Win98 disc. Follow the prompts and reboot when done. If that does not work, or if you do not find NETRTP.INF, look for a disc that came with your computer or motherboard. The NIC you describe is probably an onboard (integrated) adapter, and the drivers may be on the mobo disc or at the mobo maker's web site.....if you know the make and model of the motherboard or computer. I can't locate drivers at the RealTek site, but have a look he http://www.network-drivers.com/drivers/146/146535.htm -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "mistral" wrote in message oups.com...

That's the way I would do it....remove all the entries from Safe Mode, then restart and when Windows detects the NIC, point it to the folder where you have unzipped the downloaded files. If you trry to install drivers over what is there now, there will be resource conflicts if the device in the Other category or the existing NIC entry is using resources required by the new install. There may also be even more entries when you look in Safe Mode. You don't need the DOS program. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm |

Problem with Ethernet Driver for PCI Ethernet NIC
Download ftp://202.65.194.18/cn/nic/rset8139(507).zip
Open the file with WinZip and extract its contents to your Windows folder. Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode, type "rset8139", press "Enter" and see if you can reconfigure the adapter.

It worked fine for years. You either have or had Norton Internet Security installed, which is where the file NDISFILT.VxD comes from. I suggest the first thing you do in trying to resolve the problem is to uninstall NIS via Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. NIS and the NDISFLT driver can cause the error you see, when you try to remove the NIC from Device Manager, as you have done. It can also interfere with reinstalling the device. If you had NIS installed but do not any longer, you should reinstall it and then uninstall it, as it did not correctly remove its driver files.

I have no Norton programs. I did search for 'NDISFILT" file and find that it belonged to AtGuard firewall. I 've uninstalled AtGuard program (from SAFE mode). Then restarted PC, with network cable unplugged. At reboot, windows detected adapter, but displayed another vers. name 'Realtek RTL8029 PCI Ethernet NIC' though(not 'Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet NIC'). I followed the prompt windows and installed driver files. During installation, there were shown four error (alerts) messages that "A file being copied is older than the file currently on your computer. It is recommended that you keep your existing file." (msnet32.dll, snmpapi.dll, vip.386, telnet.exe) I always clicked Yes to skip copying the file and keep the newer version. Not clear why the current adapter installed is 'Realtek RTL8029 , not AS? mistral |
