Problems with the net....

[MarshallX]

Okay, I'll give you my story here.

It started out all good, internet connection was sweet and whatnot. I exceeded my bandwidth one month, and my conection was drasitaclly cut down. They said it would go up at the start of the next month. It didnt. SO I called my ISP and they said that my HUB was creating Data collision, so my internet would be very slow (4 comp network). So I bought a router, and all was good, fixed the other 3 comps, but not mine. I was currently using the windows driver for my card. Being smart, i figured id update it from VIAarena.com. Now on VIA arena it has aton of drivers listed by the chipset they are located on, i downloaded the one that corresponded to my chipset. But it was wrong, it turned out to be some Rhine II driver. Soooo I rolled back to the old driver and went to my motherboard manufacturers site. Downloaded that driver and installed it all fine and dandy. Went to use the internet and still had the same connectivity. So I checked out my internet connection settings, and low and behold, my connection was still using the Rhine II adapter somehow. Soooo I travel to my device manager and somehow it has changed back to the Rhine driver instead of the driver that I had just installed. So I delete that whole device, and decide to start from scratch, but when I delete the old device, windows XP automatically finds the Rhine II device again and installs it again.....

And that is my story, so now I cant get the proper device working, and am stuck at 50/384 (D/U) instead of 2000/384.

Any Help?

If it's the driver causing the problem, rather than deleting the device and redetecting it, manually change the driver (via update driver option in system/hardware/device manager) to the one that you need to change it to.

Instead of searching for a driver, choose select from a list and "have disk" when given the option, and point it to the one you want to use.

I tried that, but when i select the new driver, it says that the wrong one is newer and therefore cannot update.
