Abit IP35 Pro XE Network Drivers

[Allen]

Hi,

I have an Abit IP35 Pro XE, have had it a while now. Mainly been using Windows 7 RC, but since it's gonna run out in a few months and I can't afford to upgrade right now, I'm going back to XP.

So last night I backed everything up, formatted the drive and installed XP (Home). All went well, but upon booting into XP I had no internet access. Fine, the drivers haven't laoded, although I'm sure they normally do with XP although I may be wrong as 7 just picks everything up. I looked around for the disc that came with it, but couldn't find it, so I went to the Abit website for help.

This is what I found, the drivers page for the Abit IP35 Pro XE. I downloaded all these drivers to my laptop (which took ages whichever mirror I used, your download speeds are terribly slow), copied them to USB and put them on my PC. After installing the Intel chipset drivers I rebooted. Nothing. I installed the Realtek Gigabit LAN drivers, nothing. As you can see from this list, there's no other drivers relating to network so I'm a bit stuck!

Where can I get the correct drivers for my motherboard please if they are not available on your website?

Thanks,

Allen

Cheers mate, you should have access to my address though as I bought it from you!

I do but send it by Eve mail or on our forums to remind me when I get home!!!

How large are the files? Would it be possible to upload it to FTP (if I give you host details) if not too much?

are you aware that abit has been no more for over a year now?
Pretty much only some rump warranty support left.

Anyway, have you tried getting the latest Intel & Realtek drrivers from their respective sites?

Really?? I had no idea, lol... If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought an Abit motherboard.

No, I'm not at the PC so can't tell which drivers I would need. Although I could check the Abit site to see if there's any info there on the Realtek controller.

Thanks, no idea which of those I need though, will have to investigate more when I get home.

As I thought, the Abit website doesn't appear to have details of the onboard network adaptors I have, so it's either gonna come down to guess work or trial and error.

I'm sure I didn't have this problem before!

that's the right page for your controller - just pick the version for your OS flavour
