If the PCs are connected directly to each other or if they run through a switch, set speed on both cards to 100Mbps and the duplexing to full....
Yup. Not able to look at an NT4 system but either the one specific to the card or if that gives problems, there should be a generic NE2000 driver...
Since Kmixer.sys does mixing of audio, you may have a bad sound card or the wrong drivers for the card. And if you bought the PC a month ago,...
I think that one is NE2000 compat. and you can use the generic driver for it.
Glad you found the problem and thanks for posting back with it.
Steve - sounds like your system had some sort of significant emotional event and my guess is you have more stuff broken you just haven't noticed...
The latest I can find for a Microsoft OS are the 1997 drivers. Are you having a problem with the card?
And add .pif to the list of attachments you don't want.
And both Ad-aware & Spybot play nice with Norton stuff.
What happens if you reset (power off/on) the modem? "I can ping myself, but not the dns server or gateway " - Ping by name or by IP...
My 2¢ would be XP-pro first, 2000-pro second, XP-home not even in the running. 2003 might be fun but never had a chance to play with it.

Hotbar probably gave you lots of spyware/malware and this is the sort of thing that some of it will do. Download, update, and then run...
It might be possible that the MSBlast.exe worm would cause that message so you need to get current virus def files for your AV (yesterday or...
Only available in XP-pro as far as I know.
Even start~run~regedt32 opens in a browser? Or refuses to open? Do you have a "restore point" from before you did the nasty? If no luck...
Good question and not positive of the answer. But if it is possible, you will probably need to see Password must meet complexity requirements in...
Domain Security Policy in Windows 2000 but it's really an AD piece and the same snap-in you use with 2K should also do it for 2003.
Thanks Martin. And you'd be amazed at how many fell for this particular gag. And how many of them had also bitten on a similar one a few years...
The Norton def files prior to the ones released yesterday (8/19) wouldn't find this latest version of the worm. Good write up on it and a great...
