The Belkin is built around the Realtek chipset. In these types of situations, you can often use chipset-maker drivers rather than those branded by the manufacturer.
>"Nothing happens as far as any internet connection" (with Realtek drivers) What troubleshooting have you done? TCP/IP settings, UTP cables, etc.? Consider the possibility the problem isn't with the driver and look elsewhere for trouble. >yellow question mark and does not connect to the internet (with Belkin drivers) You shouldn't have two drivers competing to run the same hardware. Uninstall the Realtek driver before installing the Belkin version.

I got the Belkin F5D5010 NIC to slide in the slot. But when I slide it in, the XP Pro system is identifying it as a Realtek RTL8139 NIC. How can that be and how do I resolve the issue? The Belkin NIC was bought from a 3rd party, not the factory. If I try to install the drivers for the Belkin unit, it shows up in Device Manager along with the Realtek, but has the yellow question mark and does not connect to the internet. Any ideas?? The Realtek shows as working properly, but nothing happens as far as any internet connection.
