nForce 4.14 Ethernet on nForce2 MCP-T / Asus A7N8X Deluxe

Anybody else tried this?

It screwed all my networking, but I don't know if thats because I was
previously messing with the nForce3 driver...

Anyway, reverted back to the 3.13 package driver (version 3.63) for now...

It does seem that Windows doesn't think the driver is compatible with my
hardware... the same as I got with the nForce3 driver, but there is a
separate folder (NRM) for that, which incidentally Windows doesn't like
either.

No problems here at all. I installed write over my old 3.13 drivers.
Maybe you should uninstall all your old nVidia drivers and clean out
your registry too. Reboot and try again.

That package uses the 4.16 ethernet drivers...you said 4.14???

I have been looking at your website and following most of your helpful
suggestions ..never well almost never had a problem.I have been using various
remixes of the Nforce drivers packages with only slight problems...Ide drivers
mostly and some sound drivers..never ethernet.So I assume that you're problems
must stem from the Nforce3 drivers.Some remnants must (maybe)still be on your
system.Might I suggest DriverCleaner to clean out those remnants and a fresh
install of the 4.24 package??

Sorry... to clear up sme confusion...

I am using the Ethernet Driver version 4.16 from the nForce 4.14 package.

I couldn't uninstall the driver, it was very strange, but I managed to find
a hidden device in device manager and removed that, then managed to removed
the new driver... meanwhile, with the new, but not working driver installed,
my 3Com didn't appear to be installed either, it wouldn't let me view the IP
properties, saying I needed a NIC installed!

I had a little poke in the registry, but decided to revert to the old driver
for now. I'll have another play later.

I've never had any problems with the nForce package before...

Incidentally, for those that have it installed properly and working, what is
the exact name of the ethernet driver? Has it changed from "NVIDIA nForce
MCP Networking Controller"... i.e., dropped the "MCP" from the name?
