74419 2002-08-28 04:44:00 I bought a NIC the other day on DSE(dick smith electronics). Most of this day network card has auto detect and it just work fine. But not with this.
Any suggestion? (I got a P4.1.8, WinXP(HE))

74422 2002-08-28 05:00:00 Hi
The DSE card does run under Win XP Home using the drivers within XP. Mine was detected automatically when I reloaded software from scratch.

GARBAGE!!

I am running a network of 3 XP HE Pcs, and 1 W95
XP is easiest to network.
DSE cards work OK

I concede. I'm a moron. I was told that XP Home is "un-networkable"..? Is it that you can create a peer-to-peer but not a LAN? Or am I completely off here?

74425 2002-08-28 22:20:00 I run a LAN on XP HE
I have a router assigning the IP addresses.
All works fine.

The differences in XP pro and HE centre around levels of permission on files, the ability to remotely control another XP pro machine, and not much else.

74426 2002-08-28 22:45:00 OK, I found this (www.microsoft.com) and it explains it. honeylaser (814)
74427 2002-09-09 02:54:00 Thx my friend, but I find out that I have to change the file permission under regedit to make it work. The error message I got from my computer is this-"data invalid". I went to search in google and to make story short it works. Xtra has even provided asnwer for this. shockwave (1089)
74428 2002-09-09 06:57:00 If the DSE card is a RealTek one - run the windows driver update thing in XP and get the latest XP supported driver from Microsoft.
