Title: Windows 2000 not installing NDIS driver
Post by: wirawan0 on May 03, 2004, 10:30:09 am

My windows 2000 box got rebooted this weekend (maybe power failure), and now the NDIS driver wouldn\'t get loaded when I put my Zaurus (SL-5600) on the cradle. Why is this? I am really frustrated, since I can\'t get into it via SSH without NDIS 5 connection.

I tried many times to uninstall then re-install the driver, it wouldn\'t work. The NDIS driver would not be requested by Windows.

In case one would care, last time I did the following: bring up Zaurus manager, set back the communication protocol to USBIO. Press OK. Bring up the same program from the second time, set the communication protocol to TCP/IP. Now the NDIS5 driver should be reinstalled.

Note: I did quite a few times of install/reinstall/remove kind of things before eventually hitting at this solution myself. If you can\'t use the sequence I mentioned above, try uninstalling the driver, re-installing it, then do what I did above. Unfortunately I can\'t find a way that\'s less magical (\"unexplainable why\") than these steps. :-( :-(
