Hi, If possible, put both NICs in the box.
Then plug the cable into the "old" nic, then download the driver from intel.com (and you could help him using teamviewer from teamviewer.com if needed, it's free for personal use). Then once the driver is setup and running, move the cable over to the new Intel NIC. -Harry On 10/7/13 9:09 AM, DSinc wrote: > Bryan, > Thanks. Good point.
