Hi FOlks! Ok got LH up and am posting from it now... thumbsup

looks like XP drivers work for stuff.

BTW: I do not know if this is old news to the rest of you but this was new info for me:

NetGear FA310TX 10/100 Network Card, 2003 and LH do not have drivers for it and NetGear is not making any for the new OS's

BUT you can use the WIndowsXP drivers!!!

the files you need are just an .inf file and a .sys file found on any XP disk.

you want:

%WINDIR%\inf\netngr.inf
and
%WINDIR%\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab::extract filename ngrpci.sys

put them on a floppy or in a folder you can access from LH
and tell lh to use them ....
it will warn they are not signed, ignore....

works just fine so far.....

This seems to be a big fault of Netgear's. Their routers also have a problem with the way some DSL providers impliment DSL. They are slow to catch problems and fix firmware and drivers for them.
Thanks for the info.
