Hi there. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm somewhat puzzled by my network card, which just doesn't want to install under Windows 95.
It's an RTL8139C card. I found the drivers online (from Realtek), since I don't have an install CD myself. I ran the diagnostics program in pure DOS mode and it seemed to work. (It didn't work when running the same program inside Win95 though.)
But when I installed the drivers in Windows 95, it just wouldn't work at all:
And another funny thing is that when I restarted the computer to complete the install, suddenly it found new hardware, a Realtek RTL8139/810X and proceeded to install it. But that one also doesn't work.
I really don't know what to do, even after installing the TCP/IP protocol and restarting, winipcfg tells me it can't do anything and the hardware properties says it's got "error code 2" and tells me to install different drivers.
Anybody know what might be up with this?
PS: if it's easier to fix this problem, by buying a different card that works out of the box with Windows 95 instead of going through a driver hell, I'd be open for that too!
