Hi all! I have been given a new 10/100 network card and need to find out what it is to be able to load drivers for it. Windows does not find the drivers automatically. Please bare with me! The card has a chip about 3/4inch x 1/2 inch with MPX EN5038 03218T1 012E written on on it. It has an empty 28 pin 0.6" chip socket and another component that I am not sure what it is, its about 1 x 3/8 x 1/2 inch tall with 16 pins and GTS FC-515 2K17H written on it. Printed on the board itself (which is about 2 1/16 x 4 3/4 inch) on the component side is "P/N:143127-411 REV:01B". On the other side on 2 stickers with barcodes on them is "EN1207D-TX-848" and some other numbers that I think relate to the bar code. On the plate that screws into the slot there is 3 LEDs marked LINK 100, 10 and ACT and 1 port. I know that is probably a lot to ask you all but I thought I'd try on the off - chance. If you know what make it is or even better some drivers that would make it work I would gratefully appreciate it. Many thanks, Davros.

A quick search shows that the MPX EN5038 chip is used on the Accton Technologies EN1207DXT "Cheetah Card 32-bit 10/100BaseTX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter WOL - AC" picture (fourth) EN1207DTXv133.zip search "Fast Ethernet Adapters" As you were not able to identify the card from an entry in DEVICE MANAGER (it did not find the card), then one would assume the card is defective.

Jack, Why would you assume that the card is defective? It's very common for Win98 not to recognize all sorts of perfectly good hardware. This is especially true if the hardware component came out after Win98 was released. I have some perfectly good Linksys NICs that Win98 PnP doesn't recongnize but once I load the Linksys drivers, they work great.

I've used several different inexpensive LAN cards and they all wanted me to load the drivers first, shut down, install the card and when restarted 98 and Me recognized the cards and installed the drivers. I fought this for a couple of hours before I learned to read the instructions.
