[Reply or follow-up to this message] some half-baked advice Thursday, December 12, 2002 at 11:12 pm Posted by zygoteXY :o' (379 messages posted) If Personal Firewall software is installed, completely remove it using add/remove as well as manual removal, before iinstalling a new network adapter. I had to do this for to iinstall my wireless network PC card. My failure to remove it initially before attempting to install the new adapter resulted in my having to restore the registry from backup just to be able to use my existing dial up connection again. I had two half-baked adapters at that point. I could ping and see green lights, but not connect with IE, Netscape or AIM programs, like you, till i restored the registry, Removed (not just disable!) the P. Firewall entries in the registry and so forth (the entire aplication) and then installed the adapter first and then the firewall second. Windows sucks.
