Hello,
I recently connected a PCMCIA 10/100 ethernet card to my daughter's IBM laptop. It runs on XP Pro, so there is no need to download drivers and such, since XP will auto install the driver, per the instructions on the installation pamphlet. It just said to look in the device manager for the network adapter. If it's there, the driver has been installed correctly. I looked and it is there.
I turned the laptop, and my PC off, switched the ethernet cable to the laptop to test it, and booted the laptop. When I select the Internet Explorer, I just see "about: blank" in the browser. I also see that I'm working offline. When I switch the cable back, it works fine on my PC.
I've installed 10/100 cards in 2 pc. w/o issues. I run the cable through a modem and to a cable router to connect my computers.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mary
