Right click on one of those ethernet controllers in the device manager and click re-install driver. There is an option that says advanced rather than detect the driver for you. From there you must "speicify location" then browse to the cd. You will see a drivers folder on the CD somwhere then browse to the XP folder until you see the .INI file. Select it and it should install the driver for you. If it doesnt work try it on the 2nd Ethernet adapter that is being detected in "Other Devices". Seems like your laptop may have an onboard NIC, which also has no driver installed for it. |
OK, I think I see what you're saying but my attempts aren't successful.
I right-clicked on the Ethernet Controller, selected "Update Driver" (there is no "re-install driver" only "update" "uninstall" and "disable")... from there I get a wizard and I select "Install from a specific location [Advanced]" the next screen is:
O Search for the best driver in these locations.
Use the check boxes below to limit or expand the default search, which includes local paths and removable media. The best driver found will be installed.
[x] Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM...)
[x] Include this location in the search:
C:\Linksys Driver\WPC11v4_20040217\WinNT40
I also tried all the other folders under the folder that I unzipped that contains the drivers+setup (or should contain those).
The screen that comes up is:
Cannot Install this Hardware
The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.
Linear Mode
