Why doesnt this work?

[MaRiNe63B]

im trying to get cable from my brother and i have these parts

1.linksys 5 port 10/100 auto-senceing hub
2.two linksys lan cards but i think that 1 or more is dead verson 2
3.twenty five foot rj45 350mhz speed

the problem is that my computer nows that the lan card is in there but when we try to install the drivers it has an error.

is the card bad or the driver or what

we tryed the drivers it came with and 2 form the linksys website

should i just get like a cheap linkeys for 14 from newegg.com or what?

thanks alot for your output

Try the NIC in a different slot, it may be trying to get some resources that another device isn't willing to give up.

you think that is a good chance why ?

My FA310 won't work when it has to share with the RAID controller, but it'll work when it shares with the 2940 SCSI card. I've had systems with 2 NIC's where the system will see the second NIC and load the drivers, but I can't connect to squat with it. SBLive's aren't the only picky peice of hardware.

Be sure you have the right drivers - Linksys uses several different chips, have the card in hand when choosing the drive off their site...
