Ethernet won't install on 7N-400P
Hi,
Using a 7N-400P under XP Home SP1. I've downloaded the latest LAN driver for the MOBO, but when I point the h/w wizard at it, it says it cannot find the software. I thought it might be IRQ conflict; Ethernet controller appears to be on PCI 9 - the only share I can see on 9 is ISA ACPI...? btw, the only card in the box is the AGP graphics board... Anybody got any ideas? Thanks. -- Susan |

I noticed that. When I d/l the software for 6.05 and executed same it made a
new folder called 'driver'. When I ran 'setup ' it complained that it could not find 'key.ini'. Well, 'key.ini' is in the same folder. I found no install instructions so I wrote it off to Gigabytes problem. Doing it your way, you might want to point it to the XP folder in 'driver'. That folder has a .ini file.

I've used epox, abit, shuttle an msi mb's and I think that gigayte may have the most features on their mb's but they really have worst service with drivers. There is no release dates in their website and version numbers are packet versions, so you really have no way to know if they are newer than already installed. And of course no instructions or version histories in packets. -- ___ / ` .

I had the same problem..I finally gave up on the on-board NIC. I used an
old NIC I had and it works like a charm. For drivers, go to the site of the original developer and get them on the support/download page. Geo "brackets" wrote in message ...

I'm on BIOS F12 which is the latest... :-( Can I input the MAC address manually? --- Susan |
