The only problam is it has a Lan port on the back but int the specs it has nothing about it.
I was wonderinng if anyone knows were i can get drivers form or how to help windows auto dectet it but for some reason windows dosen't pick it up.

the specs are,

motherboard model: Ali Alladdin Pro
Chip set model: ALI M1621 Aladdin Pro II AGP Sysetm controller
South Bridge: ALI M1533 Aladdin IV ISA Bridge


I hope this info helps.

THANKS in ADVANCE SHANE

Well where did you get the laptop? If it is new try the place you bought it. You could also try Acer's website... although I only see a travelmate c200.... Also what Os are you running? You could also check the setup ( reached by f1 or f2 usually but look at the bottom of the screen on bootup ) to see if maybe the lan/network is turned off...

Well I may have missed something but I didn't see any network other than a wireless network card in the list. One reason he told you to use everest is because everest will usually find a device even if windows doesn't know what it is and many programs simply ask windows for what is installed... does it list anything in the device manager at all? does windows know there is something there even if it doesn't know what is there? have you tried checking setup to see if the network/lan connector is even turned on? What happened when you tried running everest?

[shane the laptop man]

sorry for the slow reply i managed to download everest and it said it has one but no brand name here is the the file as a txt

so can anyone help or not

should i try and take the back off and see if there is a jumper on it or what

[dsenette]

sorry...i lost this thread....let me review that report and i'll get back to you

[dsenette]

hmmm...everest is only showinig a WAN/PPP adapter...which tends to suggest that you've installed software for your internet connection? it's not listing a specific NIC card at all...and the acer site (which sucks) isn't listing a travelmate 200...let alone a NIC driver for it

[shard92]

Yeah It looks like it's not detecting any nic.... are you sure it's enabled? Since it is a laptop it should be in bios if it can be turned on and off.... you usually get into "setup" by pressing f1 or f2 on a laptop. look for anything labled network or lan adaptor. IF not and windows doesn't have something ( even an unknown device ) for it in device manager, I'd say it isn't working..... it's pretty hard to get something to work even with the driver if windows isn't seeing it at all.... Oh and from you PM a picture probably wouldn't help as it's usually pretty hard to id the chip for a nic....

[shane the laptop man]

thanks ill have a look and let u no
