I have trouble with my onboard ethernet card which is being detected as an Intel Pro/100+ management adapter (Win98 and WinNT4.0 detect this as well, and work fine). Win2000 reports to me that the cable is not connected. The adaptor is integrated on a Tyan Thunder Bolt S1837 motherboard. Tyan mentions the adapter as "Intel 82559 10/100 Ethernet Onboard". Anyone have positive experience with this adapter? Do I have to do anything special to get it to work? Thanks.

I solved the problem. I upgraded the BIOS to V1.18.01 and the problem disappeared after fidling the adaptor driver settings. It works now after resetting them to the defaults.

What version of Windows 2000 do you use? It may be a conflict with some other card I use. I have a Diamond Viper 550 video card and a Soundblaster 128 soundcard. The system is Dual PII 400. What kinds of extra hardware do you have? What LAN-related BIOS settings do you have?

I have tried the other (8255x?) drivers. No luck there. I also tried to install the NT4 drivers, but no luck again. I am running RC2.
