Here's my frustration.
My motherbaord died while in Windows, which means I didn't have a chance to uninstall any drivers. Changed out the motherboard, and of course, device drivers had to be reloaded. For network device, it installed fine, but the connection shows up as "Local Area Connection 2." The adapter shows up as "3Com Etherlink 10/100 PCI (3C905-TX) #2."
1. I go into the TCP/IP properties.
2. Set my staic IP (cause it's a domain controller)
3. Click "OK" to apply the setting.
4. Go right back into TCP/IP properties and both the IP settings and DNS settings are set back to "Obtain automatically."
I've uninstalled the adpater, removed it, put a Netgear FA311 adapter in a different PCI slot, installed the drivers...same frustration. Aaaaahhhhh!!!
Is there any hope for me?
