Tech: Network adapters

[Debbie Wolfe <wolfed@COLLINSVILLE.K12.OK.US>]

Strange problem. Computer accessing network just fine, then not. NIC (Winbond 
W89C840F) has two steady green lights and one flashing amber. First, tried new 
cable. No change. Then, there was no listing of an adapter in the system device 
list so I tried to install the hardware drivers. WIN 98 SE did not pick up the card 
as plug and play so I chose from list. Found the drivers on hard drive, didn't have 
to use a disk. The wizard reported everything as installed but still no listing of 
adapter in the system device list.  Went to Network Properties and removed adapter 
there. When I tried to add it back, it reports that the device is plug and play, 
start computer to install. When I restart the computer it doesn't pick up the card. 
Any suggestions? I opened up the computer to reseat the NIC but haven't plugged it 
back in. I have a funny feeling it's not going to be that easy.
Thanks,
Debbie Wolfe
