Hello from France.
For some time now I've been having this problem: when I want to switch off the
Ethernet connection from my XP SP3 machine, I get a dialog box stating that the
connection cannot be interrupted manually (...). The only way I can stop the
connection is go Peripherals (?) Manager>Network Cards>right click on
Deactivate--a bit tedious, really.
This has been occurring for a few weeks now, though I changed nothing to my
configuration except using WinUpdate.
From what I could find on the internet I should either update the driver of my
Ethernet card or download a more recent copy of netcfgx.dll to
cwindows\system32. I have tried the latter, with no avail.
As for the former, I just can't find any place from which to downloads the
driver.
My card is Carte PCI ADMtek AN983 10/100, and the installed pilot, an983.sys, is
version 2.12.507.2001, dated 01/07/2001.
Problem is, when I check sites that offer pilots, I can't find mine, as the
query "Carte PCI ADMtek AN983 10/100" brings back things I don't understand.
So I'd be very grateful to anyone who could help me with the following:
1. apart from the two clues listed above, is there any other I could try?
2. from what I could find the builder of my PCI ADMtek AN983 10/100 card is/was
Novell (?), but they don't seem to exist anymore, they are never listed with
existing makers?
3. where can I find a an983.sys file?
Thanks a whole lot in advance!
