My computer had windows me before. I use it in a
workgroup small network, where we share internet and
files.
I later installed windows 2000 professional and removed
winme completely. After that my network adapter is
unknown although the status is that it works properly and
it is enabled. My adapter card is VIA PCI 10/100mb Fast
Ethernet Adapter. It is not there in HCL list what should
i do to make my network adapter work?
 
Okay let me see if I can figure out what you mean.
First you say "it works properly and it is enabled", then
you ask "what should I do to make my adapter work"!
I think you need to go to the Via web site and download
the drivers for your card. READ the directions, some say
to install the drivers BEFORE installing the card.
If the adapter works but the computer just doesn't know
what the heck it is, don't mess with it! Or download the
drivers and install them. Just be warned you may be
playing with fire!
