Hi all, My problem is almost similar as the thread by azka. After installing most of the drivers I found out that my "Network or Internet Connection" still doesn't have this "LAN or High Speed Internet" icon. While installing the driver it found the network card hardware:

But I need to install the software to run it ? Where can i find it? Please help...

brow96

That refers to the built in network card. Just so we are clear, do you have an installed network card, i.e. a card in a slot? If you have a Card in a Slot? could you provide some more information on it.

In the device manager, what is it listed as, i.e. PCI Network Controller, Nvidia Network Controller, etc., etc? Also, the error code will help some too.

I did call up the sales guy. And he mentioned about Marvell Yukon?

brow96

Well the Marvel Yukon line of products is quiet large.

How about installing this program and posting the results back here in a message:

I got the result for network card as the above. So what should i do?

brow96

Well we have a specific problem. Now for a specific cure!

Go here: http://www.cezeo.com/products/nir/

Get This file: http://www.cezeo.com/downloads/nir.exe ( 163 KB )

It's a stand alone program, i.e. put it where ever you like and run it. It does NOT require any installation. Please note the "Save" radio button. I'd like to see what this little utility provides. It may tell us exactly what you have, I hope.

hi brow, the software that you mentioned doesn't detect the model name of my network card. But the network IP was there 127.0.0.1. So im still stuck...

brow96

Does it find anything at all or just a blank page?

Bill

pencapchew

Not blank page but my ip add, subnet mask...that's all

brow96

Well, let's try another program.

SIW is a standalone program, also, and can be found here:

http://www.gtopala.com/

File (standalone version) here:

http://www.gtopala.net/download.php?file=1 ( 1.32 MB )

This should work to identify your hardware network card. It can save a report too. Lots of help on the program at the site.

HTH

Bill

pencapchew

Already try it but still couldn't get the network card adapter info....

brow96

I need to know if you have a floppy drive that is working?

Reason? We'll try it the "old fashion way", i.e. with a DOS based program. No Windows to interfere with the detection of the device. This might be a "techy" approach, but it's looking like the only way to get the information.

brow96

Ok, one more Win32 application! But this one is different, it's a "console application" a modern name for a Terminal program.

Go to this page:

http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads.htm

Download this program: File size = 267 KB - Version 1.6

http://members.datafast.net.au/dft08...oads/pci32.zip

This is another "standalone" program. Just extract the files to a directory of your choice.

Like I said this is a Console Application. This means that you must open a Command Prompt. To do this Go to START > RUN > type the word "command" w/o quotes! You'll have to navigate to the directory that you installed the files in, manually.

In the directory where you placed the PCI32 Program you should type PCI32. This will quickly display all the PCI Bus information. Unfortunately this will only display it on you console window. To Create / Save a report type this command at the prompt:

PCI32 -D > F731AU.TXT

The file name (F731AU.TXT) is optional! You can name it anything you like. The file will be a Text File no matter what. It should be a fairly large file ~30 KB! So attach it to a message here and I'll dig around in it for you. You are more than welcome to try and decipher it yourself. I know this program will work.

What I DON'T know is if the chipsets are in the Data Base file. With that in mind you might want to put a fresh copy of the PCIDEVS.TXT file in the directory where you put the PCI32 program. There is a copy in there now, but it is an older version. This file (PCIDEVS.TXT) is updated constantly, sometimes several times a day.

You can get a current copy from here anytime:

http://members.datafast.net.au/dft08...ds/pcidevs.txt

In spite of this there is a possibility that the device still might not be found. I hope not! Take this with a grain of salt. But, I don't expect there to be any problems, I hope!

Hi Brow, dya think is a good idea i post it here because im kinda concern bout the security so I decided is better off i send u a pm. Please check it out.

brow96

That was a good idea. But, I've been through that document several times now, there is nothing in there that would identify your specific machine in any way, i.e. no personal information, serial numbers of products, etc., etc.

So feel free to post it in this thread for future use by others.

Now to your "Network Card : Nvidia Corp Nvidia Corp"! Guess what? Unless there is a splat ("!") mark on it? That IS the correct name for it, as far as I can determine.

Here is the entry for the PIC32.TXT file for that item:

In spite of reading till my eyes hurt. I can't find anything specific about this item. But here is what I HAVE found:

# 1 - It's a part of the MCP67 Chipset
# 2 - MCP67 is a high end version of the nForce 6150 Chipset
# 3 - It does NOT replace the 6150 Chipset, just offers more features!
# 4 - Some of the features ONLY work under Vista!

According to the HP / Compaq site your Chipset is:

Northbridge and Southbridge: nVidia MCP67MV

If you are not having any problems with this Gigabit Ethernet Adapter? Then I'd leave it alone. As far as I can tell it's correctly identified. IF it's NOT working properly? Then download the latest nForce drivers here:

HP / Compaq list this as one of the modules chipset:

Atheros AR2425 802.11b/g WLAN module:

Drivers can be found here: http://www.atheros.cz/

Driver file here: http://www.atheros.cz/download/drive....0.56-whql.zip

BTW, for those reading this message they have just about every driver there, for just about any OS that these Chipsets work under.

Also, Just for information purposes your Card Slot Reader Chipset is manufactured by Ricoh. IF it's working? Then leave it alone, i.e. "if it ain't broke don't 'F' with it" !

Let me know if this helps any.

I'll try it later after my work, but at this moment another problem popped out. Can you help me figure out the video driver I should install? Because my notebook is still having some glitch when i try to scroll down or scroll up a webpage. Is it because I'm installing the wrong video driver? Please help

brow96

If that's true then here is the link to those drivers for XP: File size = 55 MB - Version- v7.15.101.27.2

http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/dat...27.2_Vista.zip

Yes, I downloaded it and checked the files inside, it lists this EXACT Chip and it states that it supports the Geforce 7000M / 610 Chipset! Plus it gives the EXACT PCI Vendor (10DEh) and Device (0533h). While it's NOT from Nvidia, at least this one explicitly states that it does support your specific chipset. Strange that Nvidia can't seem to do this.

hi brow, I already try the video driver link u sent to me. But, it was actually for Vista. And then, the wireless driver doesn't have the "setup" file after being extracted? >.<

brow96

I must really apologize for that. I was reading a message thread that was discussing the same thing we are attempting, but with an Acer Aspire 4520 model. One respondent said that this model had drivers available for XP that would work, and had worked on his setup. The originator said he had downloaded the files and it had worked. So dumb old me went to the site found the model and found the VGA driver file! Ya know one of these days, before I die, I GOT to learn how to "read closer"! Because it PLAINLY states that this is a Vista 32 Bit driver file.

Apparently they have dropped XP support for this model, because there are no XP files listed for this model now. So I went searching again. Found a review of models that incorporated this chip (GeForce 7000M/610)! Guess what? They were ALL ACER notebooks. Different models though. Finally found the Acer Aspire 7520 Model on the USA site. Checked the Driver files listed for it. Yup, there is a 32 Bit driver, listed for XP. Downloaded and checked INSIDE the archive and it listed the same information as before, but this file is for Windows XP. I'm sure this time! (XxX)

Here's the link: File Size = 68,530 KB - Version v6.14.11.145

http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/dat...1.145_XP32.zip

On the other "issue" concerning your LAN Adapter. the type installation is NOT a "Setup.exe" file. What you do is extract the files, all three of them to a directory of your choice. Navigate to it. Find the ".INF" in the directory. High light it, then RIGHT Click on it. A new "Option" will appear on the Context Menu, called "Install"! Click on it and the INF will be installed. Give it a few seconds for the system to do a scan and it should start installing the files and settings.

Keep in mind that this is a 93 KB INF file and that it is PURE TEXT! That means the system must parse the file one line at a time. Which is slow, nothing you or I can do about that! Plus it has a 23 KB ".CAT" file to extract files and settings from. PLUS move a 500 KB ".SYS" file to the proper location. and register it with your Registry. This could take up to three minutes, depending on the speed of your CPU.

Mostly likely you'll have to reboot to get the LAN Adapter to function properly. It's kind of unusual to find this type of installation file any more. But all those "fancy" SETUP.EXE files do the same thing, just in a nice graphical way. In simple words it adds a graphical "Front End" to the same method I described above for installation of this driver. Only thing I can say is that it looks pretty!

Hi brow, I already tried the link u gave me about the video driver, but my hardware is not compatible with it. And another case, after installing the Nvidia nforce (izzit?) it keeps on prompting me to install "Found New Hardware" which is most prolly the Ethernet card.

And about the wireless Driver, Yep. after I clicked install, it seems like nothing happen? And I didn't see any wireless icon on my Device Manager.
