Need LAN drivers

[mandalorethx]

So, this is a long story, but...

My boot hard drive just...stopped booting. it still works, but i can no longer boot from it. this in itself is not the problem. the problem is that I am now booting from a different drive, but with XP instead of Vista (which I was using to boot on the old drive) At the moment I have neither my vista disc nor my motherboard's disk, and need the XP drivers for my integrated LAN chip, which I cannot find. XP cannot find the LAN. It does not appear in Device Manager (as a LAN. there are a few unknowns)

I have a BIOSTAR NF520-A2 motherbord (comes up as a NF61D-A2 in dxdiag) with a Realtek 8201CL PHY LAN chipset.

On the website for biostar, there is a "chipset" driver. Is this what I want or is there something else?

Thanks for any help

yes you want the chipset driver. That should include the driver for the onboard NIC.

BTW, did you install XP after Vista was installed? if you did that would explain why you don't get an option to boot to vista any more.

That worker great, thanks.

I did install XP after Vista. Thanks for that advice to.

I have another question, though. I have a netgear WGR614 router, and after a while it stops transmitting a wireless signal. I reset the router and it works again for a while. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

unless its still under warranty then get it swtiched out...however its could be just hardware failured...so that will be hard unless you wanna pay some sum to get it fix (totally useless)....

you might have to purchase new router.... be sure to check if your firmware is updated
