(I'm on a different computer, not the one with the problem.)
My network device in device manager is not functional.
I had a catastrophic Nforce2 motherboard failure and purchased a replacement Nforce2 motherboard.
Original: Epox EP-8RDA+
Replacement: Epox EP-8RDA3 IPRO
When I booted up after swapping motherboards it found new hardware and I thought all was well.
But I had no network connectivity.
I went to device manager and under network controller is a yellow exclamation point and the error that a driver wasn't installed.
I go to install the driver and I get this message..
---
Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller #1
An error occurred during the installation of the device.
The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name.
---
I remove the hardware from device manager, remove the drivers from add/remove programs and reinstall and the thing repeats but now the above error says...
Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller #2
(repeat same error above)
I try again, and it says the same thing but...
Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller #3
(repeat same erro again)
The thing is, there aren't multiple listings for these things... It's just increasing the number by 1.
I used the installation disc that has Nforce 5.03 drivers.
Anyone know how I can clear this up?
I'm happy the rest of the computer is functional, but unhappy that I have no internet on my main machine (gaming machine).
Basically I need to remove all networking controllers and drivers and start over, but when I do what I think is the correct process, it does not produce the result I thought it would.
