I want to upgrade to Win XP. My NIC is a LinkSys Network Everywhere ethernet adapter. I'm currently running Win2k. Is my current driver compatible with Win XP?

Thanks!

Yes the adapter will be recognized by XP. To be honest with you after XP identifies and installs the driver for the board you should go here:
I forget exactly the details, but look in Device Manager for the realtek driver in use.

Copy the downloaded driver from the realtek site to your c:\window\system32 directory, renaming the older driver, and pasting the newer driver. Rename the new driver with the name of the older one.

Reboot.
