Hi,
I have a Compaq M700, (NT4SP6a, 512Mb RAM, 12Gb HD),with an onboard NIC failure .. I've attempted two alterantive cards through the PCMCIA ports with no joy ...
Has any one any ideas please whether I can attempt to revive the NIC, or do I need to exchange the Motherboard ...
I'm out of my depth here
Thank you
Arthur

Have you tried disabling the onboard NIC in the system BIOS? If not, I would try that.
Also, did Windows detect the new NIC(s) you installed? Did you have the corret drivers for them? Were there conflicts showing up in Device Manager on the new NIC(s)after you installed them?

Howdy,
From memory I think you need to replace the mainboard as the NIC is onboard I will have a more detailed look and let you know.

Thank you
I have since taken the machine, and having removed all possible network adapters, and config settings; I've managed to install a network card to the paralell port, (Xircom), which is working .. but still does not solve the original problem.
I'd be grateful for any other opinions that you have please
Thank you
Arthur
