To start off I will give the specs of the computer:
Intel D815EEA http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...E&submit=Go%21
SOHOware NIC http://www.sohoware.com/span/new_soh...ct/sfa100a.htm
Windows 98SE
512MB
My problem is that I open the device manager and I have a exclamation point on PCI Ethernet Controller. I have tried and tried to find the correct driver and I found everything I think I need for the board and the nic. I don't know what to do. Without that I can not install the nic or a modem.

You can find the NIC driver download on this page. It's less than 600K, so you can download it on another computer, copy it to a floppy, and install from there.

You gave us a link to the product description, not the drivers themselves; I thought you might have missed that. Also, this was a bit unclear:
"I found everything I think I need for the board and the nic. I don't know what to do."
If you say that you've got the drivers, telling us exactly what doesn't work when you tried to install them would really help. Did you get any error messages or the like which might help us narrow things down?

- Is it possible that the NIC is faulty?
- You might have a resource (IRQ and/or I/O address) conflict. Try moving the NIC to another PCI slot, especially if the card is plugged into the PCI slot closest to the AGP (video) slot.

Any chance of trying a different NIC just to make sure your current one isn't faulty?
What about using the "Add new hardware" wizard? Maybe you can force the driver on that way...

Ok, maybe this could help. Remove the Device from Device Manager, also delete the files in the temp folder {C:\Documents and Settings\<profile name>\temp\Local Settings\Temp}, and reboot. If on reboot windows trys to have you install the drivers, click cancel. Then run though Add New Hardware prompts and use the driver disk you created...of the directory you unzip the drivers to.
See if that works. I have the same issue with my Network Card in Windows 2000/2000 Server, and doing the method I have said works every time!
Hope this helps
