I'm having no luck with this upgrade. I have 2 laptops networked successfully through a Linksys 4 port cable router. The cable modem is a Surf Board SB8310. Laptop2 has a Xircom 10/100 card that connects to router @ 100mbps. Machine I'm trying to upgrade has a 3Com 589E 10/Base T card. Both laptops show up in Network Neighborhood, file transfers are fine, printers work.
So far I've tried installing 3 different cards w/o success. They are Noteworthy Ethernet 100Base-TX Lan Cardbus Card NWETH 100/T; Ethernet ThinLan-120 32Bit Cardbus; and a Linksys 10/100 Cardbus. Out come is the same with all. The router port lights up as does the dongle light. The Linksys and ThinLan show a Full Duplex connection. Control Panel/System shows the cards are properly installed.
Just now experimenting with the Linksys I actually briefly surfed the web. However, that was after closing a box saying I did not have a connection.
Two of these cards were new in the box so I don't believe they could all be bad. Plus the router is lighting up and there are no error messages during install.
Any suggestions or strategies would be greatly appreciated.
