CAN'T INSTALL BELKIN NIC DRIVERS
To continue...
It's a PCChips M571 socket 7 mobo (yes I know it's ancient but it's served me well for many years!), other PCI cards apart form the Belkin which currently is in slot 1, is a NVidia GeForce MX400 in slot 2 and a Rockwell 56k modem (for FAX) in slot 3.

CAN'T INSTALL BELKIN NIC DRIVERS
Hi Gary,
Thanks for helping me out on this one. It's a F5D7000ec. Now I did raise this issue of being an "ec" with Belkin because they always quote "uk" and I wondered if this was significant being in the UK as I am, but apparently not. As mentioned above to MEB, apart from the Belkin card, I do have a Rockwell telephone modem which I use for faxing and an NVidia graphics card, which completes my 3x PCI line-up. Hope it helps. All the best, Sandy "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: What is the exact model of your card? All Belkin wireless model numbers start with F5D, followed by four more digits.

Morning MEB (it is for me!),
Thanks for your reply... lots of stuff for me to get my head round! The only INF files I removed were the folders listed as Belkin & Broadcom, no others. http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N100393.asp - was the technique you used similar to this? Just printed this off - useful stuff here, thanks. Yes sort off in my fumbling way trying to muddle through. There are some extra steps I can try but what is really useful is I can follow through in a logical sequence. However, looking at the points between steps 15 & 16 ( I was having another go last night whilst waiting for this post), I noticed the card was not identified. However, I will go through Netgears' sequence now I've got it & see what happens. Just been looking through the other links you suggested... perhaps I should be grateful I've got a Belkin & not a Linksys! General theme seems to be change the card. Hmmm. Not convinced - yet. Yes, on your other point I did go into Safe Mode to remove the 'device' because you're right, previous experience on this ghosting anomaly can be quite revealing, all taking up valuable resources. Finally, like I said when playing last night, I did remove all network protocols, clients et al. I must admit I can't remember if I closed down before re-installing them or not. Can a card's drivers be loaded before the Network elements are put in or does the network clients/protocols have to be in place first? Right! I better speak to the other guys now. Thanks for your help MEB. Cheers, Sandy. "MEB" wrote: Let me put both together: "Sandy" wrote in message news | Hi MEB, | | Thanks for your response.
