Well, even though it might be a winnt driver the nic card may not be XP-compatible. 
Must be pretty old. Does XP correctly identify the manuf./model no. when you run 
the add H/W wizard? Did you check the manuf's support website to see if they ever 
released an updated drvr for XP? If not, they might've discontinued supporting your 
nic. Nics are dirt cheap anyway. Ten bucks or less.  

Sometimes the same packet processor IC is used on different manuf's Nic cards so 
you can try another manuf's driver and it might work just as well. What model  no. 
is it?
