3 COM Etherlink

I had this message when I booted up:
Your network adapter 3 COM Etherlink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management
NIC (3C905C-TX) (0002) is not working properly. You may need to set it up
again. For more information, see the Network Troubleshooter in Windows Help.
How do I do this? Can anyone help me please? I am using Windows98 SE. Thanks

This message appears when I try to connect the E0115: The program failed to
locate a suitable adapter to make a connection. If you are using a USB DSL
modem, make sure the cable is plugged into your computer. It appears that you
need to install an adapter into your computer. Refer to the Windows Network
Help Guide.

Find this device in Device Manager and remove it. Then re-boot and allow
Windows to re-install it.

If the NIC is part of the motherboard then the drivers for this device are
probably on the motherboard installation CD. If it's a plug-in card then the
drivers should be available at the 3Com www site.

Troubleshooter isn't going to help. In all of the years I've used a Windows
based OS TS hasn't helped me once. Mind you I still mess up and click the
link that opens it by mistake quite often and have even read a good deal of
it in XP in an effort to learn as much as I could about the OS but, to be
honest, it still hasn't ever helped me. What I'd do in your case is I'd go
to your device manager and remove your instances of networking devices and
then restart. A nice clean reboot of course. Then, if the OS doesn't pick it
up, I'd install the drivers for your NIC. Again, after that, if it doesn't
tell you to it's often a good idea with 98 to restart after installing
drivers anyhow.
