OK and e-machine's driver for either vista or win 7 have you tried those?

reading the instructions, it self extracts, rahter than running setup.exe in the folder created, use device manager, go to properties of the LAN, update driver, and browse for the driver yourself.

try that.

should be something like: C:\Users\Jasjeet\Desktop\Extracted Chipset drivers\Ethernet\WinXP

are there any unknown devices with yellow triangles on them. You might want to use the snipping tool (typ snipping tool in search) to upload a snip of dev mgr.
