Thanks Carl-
I think I've got it now, but it still won't connect. I don't know if it
is
the dongle or what. It may be a bad dongle. I might go purchase another just
to see. Under network connections, it keeps saying cable unplugged, but it
looks right in the Device Manager now. Not exactly sure how to check the
dangle of the dongle:>)

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.

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.

You shouldn't have two drivers competing to run the same hardware.
Uninstall the Realtek driver before installing the Belkin version.

Subject: System identifying incorrect NIC
I have a Solo5300 Gateway notebook. 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.
