Here is the thing. My HP N5125 laptop crashed so often with Windows ME recently so I was trying to set up Windows 2000 professional on it. I got a linksys 10/100 network card. After the installation of Windows 2000, PCI modem, soundcard and video card can not work due to missing of driver files. I set up the network card pretty well and everything is fine in device manager. I thought it would be pretty easy to download the drvier files for the other device. But I can not connect to LAN at school's library. I asked for the technical help there but they couldn't fix it neither. The following thing is for sure:
1. Network card is fine under device manager. There are 3 lights on the dongle, Act, Link, 10/100. The first two are on if I connect the cable.
2. Cable is fine.
3. Network card get itself a generic IP address.
4. It seems that I can send out some data package but cann't receive any.
5. Every other setting is the default setting.
Can anyone give me a clue? Thanks a lot.
