always use SUPPORTED HARDWARE disable onboard NIC + use supported PCI nic

(1/1)

chrisNova777:
when trying to get compatibility with win9x
its better to use 10/100 nic instead of gigabit ethernet as it will be unstable
+ cause VXD problems...
better to use an old 3com card instead of trying to get the onboard nic to work in win9x
which can be very hard
and problematic

this was the case for me with a Asus P5PE-VM (865G chipset) that had a marvell yukon gigabit ethernet... it doesnt behave in win9x even with a proper win9x driver .. xp + up and it works great
