| 743526 | 2009-01-31 00:59:00 | I bought the above a month ago to get my media server (XP Pro) up to gigabit speed . The disc that came with the card only had drivers for the 2000S, which I couldn't get working at the time . After some fiddling, I discovered that the chipset on the card is Realtek, and the Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC drivers worked (or so I thought!) once I'd disabled the Onboard LAN . All was fine for a month or so . . . . . This morning, out of the blue, the PC locked up completely, and locks up again again as soon as the NIC connects . I had another go with the 2000S drivers, and actually got them to install, using the 'select hardware type' option, picking network adapters, and going from there . The PC doesn't crash, but once the cable is in, the NIC connects for maybe 10 seconds, then acts like the cable is unplugged for a few seconds, and then reconnects again . So to summarise, the realtek drivers cause a complete lockup, and the included drivers cause a random disconnect . Any ideas? :crying |
