Hi Dean-Dean
Thanks for the advice, however if I am not mistaken v6.193 is for RTL8110
and RTL8169 not for the RTL8139 series.
We have no problems with v6.101 so I think we will leave it for the present,
we had a similar problem some years ago with AC97 drivers for XP.
Thanks for the response, speak again.
Regards
Stuart
