Solve : PCI Network Card Problem?

Answer»

Hi

Was wondering if anyone could help me, as my technical knowledge is sadly limited!  

I recently got broadband and want to share it with an other COMPUTER in my house via a LAN. Recently bought a Belkin PCI Network Card and have got as far as INSERTING it into a free PCI slot.

When I start up the computer it says that there has been a Plug and Play configuration error and shows a prompt to ENTER the setup. Although the computer recognises that the card is there, it will not allow me to use it when I open windows (I'm using XP).

I've tried taking out the dial up modem card that was previously installed, as I'd heard there could be a conflict, but this had no effect...

I'm using a Dell Dimension 8200 desktop, Pentium 4, running XP.

I'd appreciate any ideas anyone may have on this!!  

Thanks

NB.. Relocated the card to a different PCI slot, and this inexplicably solved the problem!!!

The card may not be supported by Dell. Refer to their website to find out what hardware is supported.

Why do people keep buying brand PCs?You must install the drivers for the nic card either from a disc of online from the maker of the card
