| 1194444 | 2011-04-14 09:27:00 | Speedy is that through Device manager, its just the driver you want me to delete? | WayneMiddy (14028) | ||
| 1194445 | 2011-04-14 09:27:00 | They are all listed on these pages under "Spring 2004 Original Driver Collection" h10025.www1.hp.com +Desktop+PC&product=409979&tmp_qt=drivers&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk I recently wiped a friend's HDD and did a fresh install of XP SP3 and found that there was no LAN connection, no audio. The mobo was same as yours (MS 7184 ver 1.0) and the PC was Presario SR 1080. After d/l the drivers mentioned everything worked fine. If you have made no hardware changes and only software (XP install) then it is reasonable that you should try it. Regarding NO LAN, all the diagnostics wrongly reported the ethernet cable unplugged-the problem was no network adapter, Go to device manager and check drivers installed. |

| 1194446 | 2011-04-14 09:34:00 | Delete the LAN entry in device manager then reboot. Unless you slipstream drivers into an XP cd, it wont install any drivers. Since it doesnt have SATA, LAN , sound, or chipset drivers (or anything else) on an XP cd |

| 1194448 | 2011-04-14 11:06:00 | If you are certain its a MS-7184 Board, then according to This HP site (cr.am wfrf%2Fwc%2Fdocument%3Flc%3Den%26cc%3Dus%26docname %3Dc00378480%26product%3Dunknown%26dlc%3Den%26lang %3Den&ref=driverguide) - the actual lan driver that board has is the Realtek 8100C (download.cnet.com) -- download it, and give it a try -- Nothing else has worked so far, so nothing to lose. ;) | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1194450 | 2011-04-15 04:44:00 | Wayne, I haven't seen BIOS mentioned in this thread. Here is a similar thread where the same issue was resolved, so its worth a look. the LAN was disabled in BIOS. Let us know if it works for you. www.cableforum.co.uk |

| 1194451 | 2011-04-15 04:51:00 | Maybe just flag it and get a cheap LAN card, if checking the BIOS gets you nowhere. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1194452 | 2011-04-15 04:52:00 | After checking out what blanco Posted re the BIOS - if its all OK, one very easy way to figure out if its Hardware or software - boot from a Linux (Ubuntu or mint) CD, they should automatically pick up the Ethernet connection - if its still not working in Linux, then there very well may be a hardware problem. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1194453 | 2011-04-15 05:34:00 | Have you tried the latest driver from Realtek at . realtek . com . tw/downloads/downloadsView . aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false" target="_blank">www . realtek . com . tw ? I have a certain Realtek based NIC which works in windows but has never ever worked in Linux . I don't know why, because it's supposed to be supported under the RTL8139 driver . |
