Phenom x3 710
4gb (2x3gb) xms2 ddr2
m4n78 mobo (geforce 8300)
Note: This is XP SP3, and these are the latest nfroce drivers
When i try to install the nvidia chipset drivers I check every box to install each of the onboard components, onboard video, network, audio, raid, etc. and hit next, but before it starts I get a prompt saying there is an exsting driver for the network controller. I assume it was automatically installed during the OS installation. It said I needed to unsinstall the driver to continue, that it required me to restart, and schedule it as a startup task. So i click continue and restart but when I restart the whole process restarts. I recive the same prompt of a preexisting driver and restart.
I notice that I am connected to my network, however with limited connectivity, so I restart the chipset driver installation and uncheck network driver. The installation runs smoothly and after a restart I have video, audio, etc. but he Lan was still connected with limited connectivity. I then try to update the driver from the .inf in the driver package manually. The driver successfully updates but im still only connected with limited connectivity. This is not a network problem because all other computers work through etherenet and I even tried assigning a static IP.
The board is completely compatible with XP and besides this network issue everything works fine. Can someone point me in the right direction?
....In device manager I have in Nvidia 10/100 thing in network devices and then Nvidia Network enumerator and the Local area connection is always a number not just "local area connection." After every subsequent restart it changes to something like "Local area connection 4," or 8 or 9 and so on.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
please excuse the typos
