Hello, Need some help with a problem I can't seem to resolve. I've just reinstalled Windows XP. Everything seems to be fine except for when I try to install my cable which uses the ethernet adapter. Every time I try to install the driver for the ethernet adapter it says this: "The driver was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software" "The drivers for this device is not installed" Can someone please help me with this?

How can I get this ethernet card to work? Do I need to download a certain driver? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joined Oct 2, Messages 65, Ethernet Net Adapter Driver Issue. JohnWill Retired Moderator.

Seems like the service tags have been scratched off, but when I looked at the driver list for this model theres only one network control driver available, I'll try that one and report back. Well, I can use the net now, but the problem still isn't completely solved. However, none of the workarounds - and I don't want to sound disrespectful or unthankful for the workaround suggestions guys - address the fundamental problem detailed in the first post - namely - why doesn't the Firewire adapter show up in the network connections or indeed in the network adapters node in the device manager?

The Host Controller is there - and I downloaded one of these driver analysis tools and there is no hardware without a driver - although the tool did show some unrelated out of date drivers. By the way, the firewire port is on-board. The Firewire port worked fine when the computer had XP on it so its highly unlikely to be a faulty port Use Device manager to uninstall the controller, then reboot and let Windows auto install it.

BYW, did you install the chipset drivers for the motherboard? Just a quick note -- I found a pci firewire card on ebay just now. And - YES - it is compatible with Win7 - or at least the listing says so. It is quite amazing that most of the firewire cards listed don't list compatiblility with Win7 - or indeed with Vista.

They all list compatibility with all Operating Systems up to XP but generally no further. We'll see whether it is or not in a couple of days when it comes. I'll let you all know Hi Tony.

I tried both these ideas and no difference - its still not recognised. It appears you have an Intel board. Try getting the latest chipset drivers at the Intel site. Just an update on how I'm getting on with this problem. The new firewire card is turning up the same issues as the on-board firewire port - ie it is still not recognised although the OHCI controller appears to be properly installed.

Some, on other forums, suggest setting the OHCI controller to the legacy driver but this has no effect whatsoever on my system. I am now having issues with my wireless network card giving connectivity problems. It is connecting to the router but - although it shows internet access - there is essentially no connection to the internet although it will occasionally connect.

I have now got a working crossover cable which allows me to share my files between my laptop and desktop - and it is also allowing me to use the XP laptop's wifi connection to connect to the internet. I'm beginning to wish that I'd never upgraded the desktop to Win7 as everything up till then had worked fine under XP. My reason for upgrading was really to go to 64bit and get the maximum performance from my hardware but thats another story I'm thinking now that my next best bet will be to do a clean reinstall of win7 and hope that that helps but I'm not all that confident that it will.

The only other alternative at the moment is to look at running a cat5 cable all the way through the house to the router - not an easy task Regards, Don. It will be available in advanced network section. Hi Tony, I never do upgrade installs - I always - without exception - reformat the hard drive and install onto a clean reformatted drive.
