NIC card

When I tried installing NT and a list of drivers came up but I didn't see mine listed. Where can I find the correct one please. According to the software everest, my card is listed as 3c905B-tx but that wasn't listed so I tried 3c905 but that didn't work. Where can I get the correct one, please?

Also, where on NT can I put the correct one once I get it, please?

thank you

I now have the correct drivers on a floppy but still need help on NT as to where I need to put it, please?

There are your drivers, get the 2 files for version 5.4 and make your floppies. You must be running SP4 or later, and the installation procedures are in the Help folder on disk #2, in a file named winnt.txt.

To make your floppies, put the exe file in an empty subdirectory and run it. Then copy everything that extracts onto a blank floppy. This will be everything that is in the folder except the original file.

I AM NOW ABLE TO SEE OTHER COMPUTERS ON MY NETWORK and access them which is great and I thank you for. The only issue I am having is accessing the internet. When using IE it says it is unable to and just hangs. When using firefox, I receive the following error "the ordinal 77 could not be located in the dynamic link library oleaut32.dll".

Is there a way to fix this so I can have internet access? I really appreciate your help and any other given to resolve this issue.

I d/l the file from dll.com and placed it on a floppy. Is there a certain place it must go or just on C: drive, please?

What version IE are you using? I recommend IE 5.5, with NT SP6. Here is where you can get IE 5.5:
