Okay. So you installed the chipset driver then tried to install the driver for the ethernet card. What EXACTLY happens?

And you are certain they are the correct drivers for the particular hardware in your system? I'm guessing they are not. Wasn't there a driver disc included with the system? And just fyi, I'll be logging off for the evening shortly, but there are others here who will be happy to help.
