Aaron Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 I have an FA311 Netgear card, and it works in Win2k3 when you install the XP drivers from the v1.30 package from Netgear's site.

Aaron Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Thats odd Aaron. Mine dident work at all!THe second i poped in my 3com Tx it auto dectected and worked fine...=DrewSome of the FA311 cards that were manufactured were faulty and contained an incorrect model number in its BIOS. There is a BIOS flasher patch for the FA311 available on the Netgear site which you can put onto a bootable floppy disk. It's worth trying out anyway, because the flasher won't proceed if your FA311 BIOS is not faulty.
Guest jhaislet Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I wouldn't call the FA31x cards server quality. My Intel Dual Port Pro/1000 MT was detected just fine in Win2k3
notobe Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 My FA310TX doesnt work either , it says something about the INF file is different or something.
Choakster Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Hello, Thanks for the info .. I had this exact same problem using a NetGear FA311 , I just regret not opening the server box before realizing Server 2003 somehow just chose the wrong card . I only had one card installed and it was the NetGear Fa311 however it had read it as a realtek RLT something .. Had I opend the box and jsut popped out the card to begin with I woulda saved myself a headache.Heres a link to NetGears download site . http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_details.asp?dnldID=52I used V1.8 and it also worked perfectly . Just Unistalled the the card from device manager then re installed it and pointed it to the CD drive with the NetGear driver in it , worked perfectly ..And sorry for bumping an old post .. Just wanted to say thanks though.Thanks again ..
