One is ok but the other has a problem with the driver.When I add the card in Networks, two appear in the System-View Devices by Type window.Both say Accton EN1660 PnP LAN Card and clash with each other. If I remove one, both go. Also I checked share Files and Printer in Networks, but do I have to uncheck and reboot every tine I go on the net as I have been told other people can get access to your computer. Thanks.	Guest (0)

In windows you don't have to add the card in networks, if it's plug and play, windows will have installed it, and it will be in network neighbourhood already. You could be installing the same card twice. Also if you use Internet explorer, it will ask you if you want to disable file and printer sharing, when you hook up to the net. You don't need to reboot.

That is why you have 'perform system security check' enabled. It asks you if you would like to disable file sharing over your 'TCP internet connection', and requires a reboot the first time you turn it on. I'm not sure what happens in W2k.	Guest (0)
