topic Fault with Network Card in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/fault-with-network-card/m-p/158535#M82200 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I'm sure this seems like a dull problem with everyone moving to Vista at the moment, but I'm having trouble fixing a blip on one of the network cards.<BR /><BR />I've just replaced the hard drive on my sister's hard drive and installed my own version of Windows XP Home (she never made a recovery disk!). I've downloaded the drivers for the VGN-FE11S from the Sony website and got everything in Device Manager running happily, except for the "<STRONG>Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection</STRONG>". When trying to get the driver to update it did use a file from "Drivers\Network 2", but this still left it with a fault. I followed Windows advice and uninstalled the hardware and then installed it again using "Add New Hardware", but this hasn't made a blind bit of difference, and this time it doesn't seem to want to even try and use the drive in Network 2!<BR /><BR />Any advice anyone? All tips are welcome <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <BR /><BR />P.S. After installing all the Drivers and Utilities that can be downloaded from the Sony Website, is there anything important I might still be missing on the VAIO?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:31:55 GMT simrana 2007-01-25T19:31:55Z Fault with Network Card https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/fault-with-network-card/m-p/158535#M82200 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I'm sure this seems like a dull problem with everyone moving to Vista at the moment, but I'm having trouble fixing a blip on one of the network cards.<BR /><BR />I've just replaced the hard drive on my sister's hard drive and installed my own version of Windows XP Home (she never made a recovery disk!).
