what does the yellow flag say? does it say driver problem or resource conflict? or what?

are we talking about xp home edition here?

yeah, actually it "lan" which stands for "local area network"

cant you just go to the site and download the driver or have you already tried that?

I had a similar issue with an older k7s5a board I had...I had it sitting in the box for so long that the driver cd wouldnt even run under xp, lol..so I had to get all the drivers myself...and I couldnt find the right sound driver...turns out there were 2 different sound chips used for different versions of the board.

Actually I used the driver that the microsoft windows update site provided (even after I constantly tell people to NEVER use the drivers from the update site, lol)

Do you know what exact version your board is....that could maek a difference....you should be able to look at the board and it will have a sticker or a stamp or something telling what version it is...like "ver3.1" or whatever.

yes, see http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/drivers_k7s.html if you notice there are two different lan chips used for different versions of the board...there is an sis900 lan chip used for some versions and a realtek 8139 used for some versions.

Now I dont see k7s5a "pro" listed...but maybe that is the same as K7S5A+ ?

If worse comes to worse, get you a flashlight and physically look at the motherboard and try to find the lan chip...see if you see a realtek 8139 or an sis900.
