Onboard lan = no lan

[Bob H]

Hi,
I have recently installed a new mobo which has an onboard network card?
The board is the Asus A7V8X-X with the nVidia chipset.
Anyway my main OS is Win2k, and I have a Win98se machine with a Realtek NIC
in.
Before I installed the new board in the win2k machine, there was a Realtek
NIC there too and I could share files between the 2 machines, but now
neither machine can see each other, altho' I can ping each of them, and the
network neighborhood icon shows something happening.

Any solution? If I have to re install the Realtek card I will, but seems
that the on board nic is better for my adsl connection?

Thanks

the OS still remembers the realtek card as a hidden device, so make sure you
uninstall that. Then everything else should be the same. Make sure you
uninstall that hidden device.
