cannot install drivers for gigabit ethernet

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Did you try installing the drivers from Device Manager. rt click on
Nvidia Networking Controller and select Update drivers.
Have the MSI CD in the cdrom drive. Just follow the instructions and
you may have to point to where the drivers are located.
