    It's possible that Windows doesn't have drivers for those particular makes. You may need to pay a visit to the manufacturers' websites for the drivers you need.

    This becomes quite likely if your network card was made after 1998. I don't know if M$ was providing driver updates with its Win98 updates, and I rather doubt it.

    BTW -- did you remember to install the chipset drivers for the new motherboard? If your Ethernet connection is built into your motherboard, that may resolve the problem.

    Glad to hear it. How'd you like to tell us how you resolved it so that others can learn from your problem?

    And most of those who offer solutions usually like to know how close to the mark they got.
