Thanks Al, Have not found a change log yet. I've exploded all the zippers I have. No info/log files yet.. V10 is the plan, as soon as I find out just which Marvell chip is on the board. Could now be "Alaska." Thought it was "Yukon." Stupid codewords. Got to the Marvell site, but

Does anyone have any experience with Marvell network stuff? The corp website seems to be down to me ATM. I will go back to it in due time. Never heard of Marvell. :( It seems that the GBit chip (on-board) on 2 of my Asus m/bs is by Marvell. No, I do not know the device number yet.

Joe, Thank you for your take. Yes, I have learned (the hard way!) that in Pooters, 'assume' often leads to the mother of all screw-ups. But, in the past 8 years, W2K has asked me for drivers only 2 times, and, I expected it both times. For any kind of network doo-dad, W2K always seemed to have

I'd like to try and enable the on-board GBit NICs on my 3 Asus m/b's. Am using Win2000proSP4. Question is: What is the proper order of steps to "swap" the on-board nics? I am presently using the 10/100 nVidia nforce MCP Network adapters. I've already printed out the ipconfig/all screens to cap
