Recommend wired network adapter (NIC)
I'm finally looking at installing Vista at my office. However, I have
noticed that the network adapters (NIC) that I use do not (and may not) have Vista drivers for them. What is a good brand of network adapters (NIC) that are XP / Vista compatible?

Which adapters do you have now, they will probably work.
Run the Vista upgrade advisor check and you'll get a report on your hardware and software. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...deadvisor.mspx "smlunatick" wrote in message ups.com... | I'm finally looking at installing Vista at my office.

I've used Linksys NIC's with no issues. Although you can run the Vista
Advisor to see if a driver is built in with Vista. Some NIC's don't have drivers with Vista, and no drivers available. But, most new Linksys and Dlink have drivers. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "smlunatick" wrote in message ups.com... I'm finally looking at installing Vista at my office.

In article . com,
smlunatick says... I'm finally looking at installing Vista at my office. However, I have noticed that the network adapters (NIC) that I use do not (and may not) have Vista drivers for them. What is a good brand of network adapters (NIC) that are XP / Vista compatible? Anything that has a Realtek 8192 chipset. You'll find it in many of the $5 PCI NICs and you'll be hard pressed to find an OS that doesn't support it out of the box except for DOS of course. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound.

It's both PCI and utterly Plug and Play. The same applies to the Intel PRO/100 (and older PRO/1000) series NICs (and built-in Intel-branded *wired* Ethernet controllers in various Intel-chipset motherboards). Christopher L. Estep
