I'm using two 10mbps realtek cards on a 2 computer network.
One computer is running Win98 and the other Win98 Second Edition.
The only problems that I've come across is the SE computer sometimes sticks
a nice yellow "!" under device manager (right click my computer >
properties) under network adapters. I never had this problem with Win 98
first edition.
Like I said ... sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
Anybody know what the likely cause of this is?
I tried downloading later drivers from www.realtek.com.tw, but with no
success.
Both cards are realtek rtl8029 pci's.
Tanks in advance.
