Hi there,
after spending a lot of time with a mystery problem on a high protocol level (both Win NT and Win 9x), I found that replacing the Linksys driver LNEPCI2.SYS with the Winbond driver W940ND.SYS solved the problem!
Since I can't get any comment out of Linksys, does anybody know whether this has any potential drawbacks? Thanks,
cu Martin
On Win2000 using the winbond drivers gets everything fouled up.

I have a couple of EtherPCI LAN Card II , but I can't seem to find the right drivers for them. Linksys only has the drivers for the cards that have both RJ-45 and BNC on them. Mine only has RJ-45 and I can't seem to find the drivers for it anywhere. Any help?

Hi Martin, Wondering if you can help. I have the same network card in the PC I shipped my son off to college. They use TCP/IP protocol. His problem is that if he's lucky enough to get into the network, he soon gets dropped. And it's always very slow. His room mate (different card) has no problems. I was going to try the latest drivers. The Linksys FTP site isn't working. Then I found your note. Any suggestions on what to try? How do you substitute the Winbond driver in WIn95?
Thanks in advance..Peter

Windows 2000 'auto detected' my Linksys EtherPCI II as a Winbond, and recorts that it is working correctly - but I cant access anything on the network. I'm using the BNC connector to access my coax based network. The network card works fine with Windows 98. Anyone know how to get drivers for it on Windows 2000?
