If you no longer have the disks for the device, or remember where you got it from, please post the hardware ID for it, so I can figure out what make and model it is. That is a pretty old model that has no W7 drivers, but the final release Vista driver may work Now you can try to just run the auto install file first one listed for 32 bit , but if that doesn't work, download and install this free file utility.
The first file on the page is for 32 bit. After you install 7-Zip, right click on the 32 bit Intel ethernet driver you downloaded and saved. Once that is done, go to the device manager and click on the ethernet controller needing the driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder 7-Zip created. The PROWin32 auto install file began the installation, but then stopped and displayed the message "Cannot install drivers. No Intel R Adapters are present in this computer. How embarrassing No, in a rush to leave for an appointment yesterday I'm afraid I didn't think to try the manual install method, as I just assumed after several attempts with the auto that there must be some other issue halting the install that I'd have to fix first.
So now that I've followed your instructions for the manual, I'm happy to report that the install completed and that the driver works for my NIC. At least, I've got a LAN2 connection in the Network And Sharing Center and seem to have made some sort of connection with my other two networked machines.
I searched for an answer and changed the LAN2 connection to Home Network, as it had somehow been designated as Public Network not by me, though. But unless you want to tell me otherwise, I guess those are all separate issues beyond the topic of this post, which is for a driver that will work with my old NIC.
So it looks like that problem is solved, correct? As far as some of your PC's not seeing the xw, make sure that all of the workgroup names are the same.
PW protected sharing is off. Anyway, I'm glad to know this isn't anything related to the NIC and driver, so I've apparently got other problems to solve. I very much appreciate the help, Paul. Old as it is, I like this xw and I'm happy to have it up and running Win7. Thanks a lot! Didn't find what you were looking for? Ask the community.

We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish. Drivers are not only device specific, they are also Operating System specific, this means that if you change or update your Operating System, you must also update your software Drivers. Even without such a change, Drivers are regularly updated and you should ensure that your PC has all the latest updates. You can do this automatically by downloading a Driver Update Tool , or to troubleshoot the problem yourself.
If you have recently installed Windows 7 and are having issues with your network accessing the internet, emails etc. Most driver update tools will let you run a free scan of your system.
