Is anybody having a similar problem? My 3COM network card used to work in the lsat build of Windows XP. When I installed the Build 500, the Network card is detected but has the exclamation mark on it. I can't uninstall it or rollback. Sometimes upon reboot, it is detected as an "Ethernet Controller" with an exclamation mark. After a minute of background detection, it detects the 3COM card and even installs a driver but still doesn't work.
I've tried a DLINK and Farallon card and still the same problem! I'm sure it is the new build of Windows XP because it used to work on the previous build.
I downloaded the 2 disk set of 3C905BTX and couldn't figure out how to tell Win XP to update using those drivers. It doesn't seem to "browse" that folder and find the drivers.
