i recently formatted and installed wp pro/w sp2 on an emachines w3052 machine that previously had xp home on it, and now i cant see the net work device on the mother board. I dont wanna go out and buy another network card to fix this problem. Can anyone offer any advice on this.

Also, how do i find the driver for the windows xp pro sm bus controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Listen....the network device is not even showing up in device manager, maybe because i i nstalled xp pro, and even if it did pick it up, the drivers for it are not on that site....how can i find the sm bus controller device driver?
 
Go to emachines website the_other_one is right we have done this before. All manufacturers have thieir stuff on their site search for your computer serial number on there and you should get all the downloads you could ever dream of on there...

According to their website, they don't list many drivers. Here is there list of drivers....http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=W-Series&model=W3052
Perhaps you have a PCI network card or you have bad motherboard that is not recognizing the pci slots or intergrated network card. How old is this computer? Or maybe you fubared the install up? Hard telling actually. Did this computer come with a restoration cd or back up partition to reinstall the OS? Provide us with more information so we can help you possibly.
