Need old drivers

Eircom_Sucks

upgraded a fujitsu siemens esprimo P2500 from xp to win 7


but for the life of me I can't seem to find any Ethernet drivers for it


so it can't connect to the internet , I know I can use slimdriver etc but useless unless I can actually get on the net


any advice greatly appreciated

If you're willing to trust it there's a page here claiming to have drivers for it. Not sure whether they're kosher, mind you...

Aside from that, this page suggests that you've probably got an SIS 661FX motherboard in the thing. I've not been able to find anything to pin down what ethernet controller that would have on board, and it doesn't look like SIS have any Win7 drivers for any of their legacy components, so unless you've got more information to share you may be stuck. Might be easiest to just buy either a cheap PCI NIC or a USB dongle and get around the problem that way.

have you tried looking for Vista drivers ?

in device manager it should list a hardware id that you could look up

if you have an Ubuntu or Knoppix or other Linux/BSD live CD you could boot it up to see what it says about your hardware

It's an ADMtek AN983 chip in this system I believe. Not sure if the company even still exists anymore.

Any links to an external internet card ? Plug and play

borrow a card just long enough to connect and search for a driver

you must know someone with a USB wifi card or even a 3G dongle thing

or an old PCI network card



In the really old days you'd be talking serial ports and dial up modems or laplink cables

and using mode and a serial cable to get interlnk to copy itself over
