Angry Fire Please Help - Network Card Driver and XP Madness!

OK this one is driving me mad!

I've got a Realtek NIC Card, its a DFE-530TX and I've downloaded numerous drivers off the net for it plus the ones XP already has and each time the hardware wizard says It cant find the software for the ethernet controller and the device isnt insalled properly.

I know the card works as had it in Win98 before I installed XP earlier in the week.

Surely there must be some way of getting it working

Go to Realtek's website and download the XP drivers. Sometimes the built in XP drivers for certain hardware dont work so well.
