Hello,

I recently had to reload Windows XP onto my system and now can't get my on board audio or LAN to work. My motherboard is a Foxconn 6627MA-RS2H (n15235).

I saw a previous post that provided a link to http://www.foxconnsupport.com/download.aspx but can't seem to get the drivers from that website any longer.

I ended up downloading a few drivers (chipset.zip / AC97-5.10.00.6200.zip / 8100_8110-6.63.zip) but that didn't seem to change anything.

Thank you for taking the time to read this - any direction would be greatly appreciated.

-Greg

When I click on the "save button" icon, then it goes to this screen indicating...

Maybe the site is down?

Really strange. I tried using a different browser (Explorer vs. Firefox) and even tried a different computer. Same issue. I attempted to use my wife's iMac and it allowed a file to be downloaded but when extracting it said that there was nothing there.

When I go back to that Imac and try to download anything again, now I am getting the "page cannot be displayed" error.

Clearly I am doing something wrong here. I ended up unzipping the program from the Mac machine and putting in on a USB - that seemed to do the trick getting the file on the USB.

Bringing it over to the XP machine, I extracted the files onto the desktop and installed the driver. Nothing changed on the motherboard - still unrecognized Ethernet. I tried to go into device manager and manually update the Ethernet controller to where t the driver is located - no luck there either. I feel like I am missing something completely but am running out of ideas.

Looks like my issue all along. When I read about n15235 being the same as a Foxconn 6627MA-RS2H I didn't think about verifying if that was in fact my motherboard. After getting an error on one of the driver updates that the hardware could not be found I looked closer at the motherboard to see that it was an A74ML-K. I still couldn't download from foxconnsupport.com but did end up getting the drivers from helpdrivers.com.

And viola, after installing the drivers everything is working.

Thanks for everyone's advice.
