bigborett Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Hello. I'm new here. I can usually find what I need without asking specific questions but not this time. Put a new hard drive in my daughters HP laptop and downgraded it to XP from Vista (upgrade in my opinion). Trying to download the ethernet driver from realtek on the home computer to no avail. It does not seem to matter what path I take they all end up at the realtek site and the driver will not download. The driver I need is for the RTL8101 series. Once I have this driver I can connect the internet and update all her other drivers. Any ideas or help would be apprieciated. I'm not a whiizz but am not without some skills. Thanks Quote
RandyL Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Since this is a HP you could try this HP link. Vista Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Driver This HP link states it's for XP. Microsoft Windows XP Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Driver If that isn't what you need we might need the model and number of the HP laptop.

bigborett Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the reply. Been to that site. After hitting download, windows explorer cannot display the web page. It is the same with every download link. Eventually windows cannot display the page. I think they must all go back to the original realtek page. I'm starting to wonder if the earthquake has affected realteks database or something. I'm not having any other internet problems. More help please. Also I have tried to download other things from the realtek site to no avail. Just as a test. Thanks Quote
