    The drop down box only brings up 1 thing, PPP Adapter, what does this mean? :confused:
    PPP adapter is normally for dial-up networking, but it might be the LAN USB adapter. Release, Renew etc. wouldn't have affected it badly.

    Read http://www.mepisguides.com/fti/cox/Win9X-Connection-Data-for-Cox-Tier-I.html and follow steps 1-14, and note the paragraph about composite USB devices in 98SE.

    Point 11 is where the problem seems to be but when I put the cd in that came with the adapter it is still looking for an update. What if anything can I do now? :confused:

    So does it say that the device is not working properly? In the Update Device Driver wizard, you should be able to tell it to look on the CD drive or browse to CD drive where the drivers are located.

    I tried that but it doesn't spin the cd like it normally does. I will try now again one more time and then I must go home,

    When I get to point 6, there is a yellow exclamation mark on DM9601 USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter. When I double click it it says device status, The NDIS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2.)
    To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device driver.

    OK, that doesn't look good, we need to fix any red/yellow status for that adapter in Device Manager.

    Did you plug the adapter into a USB port first and then install the drivers from the CD?

    Try deleting the adapter in Device Manager, put it in a different USB port and then install the drivers and reboot.

    Yes, plugged in the adapter and then installed the drivers.

    Actually, delete the adapter in Device Manager, then reboot, then put it in a different USB port and then install the drivers and reboot again.

    Adapter deleted, rebooted, drivers are supposed to be installed and now it is rebooting again.
    Do you think this will work?
