51887	2002-06-01 06:15:00	I have recently reinstalled Win 98 on my Compaq Prosignia 150 notebook. The install went well - the system is now free of the debris built up over the past few years. However, I am unable to get my CNET Singlepoint netowrk adaptor card installed. It appears to install in the way it should - ie insert the card, Windows detects it, load the software, done. On restarting the machine I get an error message stating the network card is not properly installed. Install it again. I have reinstalled. I have reloaded Windows. I have loaded updated drivers from the web. to no avail. The card was working fine before I reinstalled Windows. The card is getting power - as evidenced by one light on the dongle... Any idea what to do from here?	Guest (0)
51888	2002-06-01 06:56:00	Did you get the drivers from www.cnet.com.tw and is your card a CNF401C? The light on the dongle usually represent network connectivity for 10/100MBS (2 lights if you have a NCF401C) If you go winipcfg - is any address assigned to the card? It may be in the drop down box when the first window appears. Can it ping to 127.0.0.1? In control panel system - are there two network adaptors or is there one with a red cross or is there something in ubknown or other devices eg PCMICIA ethernet controller?	Guest (0)

After going through your comments in detail, I decided to try reinstalling the drivers. Lo and behold the card now works. Must be in the way I was holding my tongue. Thanks for taking the time to help out. Cheers Peter	Guest (0)
