i have d-link router
2 syslink ethernet cards
connected to router, lights are on and connections are made (100% sure)
the network doesn't seem to be working on the 2000 computer
need help configuring the network properties on win2k professional nt


note: i'm not quite sure if there are compatibility problems with the win2k

Win2K =
XP, didn't say if it's home or pro. Tried helping someone with xp home and a wireless nic. XP said, This device has not been digitally signed by Microsoft. It may not work correctly. Do you want to continue (Yes)(No) When I said yes, I recieved the error message Device has been unplugged. Took the nic out, put it in my W2k laptop, W2K found it, configured it and I was on the internet in seconds. XP home = What operating system is the xp? Thanks and good luck.
