and where can I find drivers for it?

It has a realtek chipset (not sure which one), I think it is a generic oem
as there is absolutely no info on it except the following:
Serial number: AHN6303023707
Part Number: 18-0B-F200-B100

The following is all I can turn up on it after searching the internet (web

I apologize for posting slightly OT and appreciate any assistance.

DUH! I should have mentioned it's a network card.

Generic Realtek throwaway card.
No FCC ID on it?

Does XP not have in-box drivers for that?
See what happens if you just throw it in.

Then try the XP drivers here:
( 7th line down )

Then, given that it's a $5 card,
see what happens if you just throw it out :-)

Go to www.belarc.com and download The Belarc Advisor - maybe it can help
identify it.

Greetings --

What's the FCC number on it? Cards are usually easier to track
down using the FCC number.

Thanks for the response Bruce. I tried the FCC # that was on the card,
but it didn't bring up anything. Dispite our occasional "discussions" in
these groups, I appreciate and respect your willingness to help.

Right.

It tries to install but cannot find drivers.

LOL! My thoughts exactly. I'm just doing this a s a favor to a friend.
Not my machine, no way to backup the machine, I just wanted to approach
this in a conservative manner if there was any option to do so. If there
is none, I will just throw it in with my best guess for drivers and see
what happens. Thanks for the link.

I was considering this John, but I do not know if Belarc, aida32 or other
programs like that actually get the info from the drivers or the hardware
even if no drivers are installed. Does anyone know?

How to get the Hardware ID of a NIC

1.. Close all open instances of Device Manager.
2.. Open a command prompt.
3.. In the command prompt type set devmgr_show_details=1
4.. In the command prompt type devmgmt.msc to go to the Device Manager.
5.. Click the plus sign next to Network Adapters so that you can see the
NIC in question.
6.. Double click the name of the NIC in question.
7.. There should be a Details tab, go to it.
8.. In the Details tab select Hardware Ids from the drop down menu.
9.. Highlight the top line (this is the Hardware ID) and copy it (Ctrl-C).
10.. Paste this into a mail and send it back to me.
if you have a driver (.sys file) and corresponding inf (.inf file) you can
search for the hardware ID in the inf you suspect will work- if it is there,
you have the right driver/inf
not necessarily the most current one but one that should work

Alternately you can find the company of manufacture at
http://www.pcisig.com/membership/vid_search/
number from details tab= PCI\VEN_some#letters&DEV_#&subsys_#
look up the "some#letters" in hex at the above link click search & you can
confirm the company of manufacture

Hope this helps
