I got this 2nd hand computer and when I installed windows 98 on it it said that it couldn't find drivers for it. So I took it out to see what kind it was, the only writing on it read GTS FC-515L. I've searched all over the net for A gts website and to try and find the drivers. I've been to driver guide.com and even with drivers that look perfect, i've had no luck getting it to work. A lot of people said it was actually a realtek or a 3com network card but I still can't get the driver. Can anyone help? Thankyou.

Found something at www.driverguide.com searching all company and FC-515L but I'm not exactly sure so try them out.

In the second last I driverinfo I also found this info:
* The GTS FC-515L is a Planex FW 100TX. do not download the drivers for the FNW


Good luck!!!!

Try this program, it may help. Save to disk and burn it to CD and install on your other computer. This should identify the NIC card and even give you a link to the website.
