Ethernet controller

[Andy]

I have a missing driver for a Ethernet Controller.

It's a H.P. 6730b.

I looked on the HP site, but they must call it something different.

What other names are there for it ?

Not having it is not leading to any problems.
Maybe because I use a wireless connection.

I could not find them either. There is nothing on the
website that mentions ethernet drivers.
They must be either built into some chipset firmware
or contained within the wireless driver package.

Huh ?

Nil found them for the HP Compaq 6730b Notebook PC.

Yup, Nil found them. I missed his post earlier.

Hope this does not show up several times. It keeps saying
that I am not allowed to post here. It did that earlier, too.

Eternal-september problem ?

Eternal-september problem ?

Sounds like authentication playing up. If a user is perceived
to not be logged in, then they can only post to the E-S *.support
groups.

In recent failure cases on E-S, some of the failures were
port specific, and switching from port 119 to port 563 or
port 80, might yield a different result.

You can also run on port 119, and use a packet sniffer to
watch your session. I use Wireshark for the purpose. Since
port 119 is not encrypted, you can read the transaction
as plaintext, and for example, see your USER and PASS packets
being sent.

Yea. Every now and then something strange happens with E-S.
Every few days or so. It affects both this xp machine
and the 7 laptop, so likely its server related.
Now too: server is refusing connections.
