Computer not picking up 2nd Network card

[funkymonk]

Hi,

We have just added a 2nd network card to 1 of 2 machines (both WinME) so we can network both computers and also share cable internet.

The Problem
The computer with 2 cards is not picking up the 2nd card. The card is RealTek RTL8139(A) PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
The problem was almost solved at this address:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q261849&GSSNB=1

but step 3 under Steps to Reproduce the Behavior, it says On the Driver tab, click Driver File Details but this option is not available.

We both bought the same network cards, mine was picked up by the computer when I started it where as his was not. His other card is used for connecting to the cable internet.

Any solutions greatly wanted.

Cheers

Hi, we have sorted the network problem now, not sure why the computer was not picking up the new card but it eventually did. It didn't even pick it up and say it didn't know what it was so maunually installing it was also a problem. That sorted, we now have a problem with setting up cable broadband accross the network, something to do with the Device Loader. I think we may be close to sorting that out now but any extra addvice I'm sure would be a help.
