Summary: Easy installation
Review: Took no time to install the hardware and drivers. Running Windows ME and the whole thing took less than 5 minutes. This was my first time installing a NW card, and had no problems. Card is working well with my cable modem. Can't beat it for the price!

Summary: Horrible
Review: Unfortunately, after several (5+) hours of working with this device, I haveto proclaim it a disappointment.Installing the hardware itself went fine. However, when I attempted to install the drivers for this device, Windows (98 in this case) went nuts. It turns out that the drivers on the floppy disk DO NOT include necessary files... However, even when I use those drivers and reboot, my machine STILL doesn't detect the network card. Windows itself claims it's there, but ipconfig (in DOS) and winipcfg can't find it. I've checked BIOS to make sure the PCI slot is enabled -- it is. Additionally, the driver installation freaks out because it can't find easy-to-locate Windows-related files (ftp.exe, networks, etc.). I imagine the installer is looking in the wrong directories; I point it manually toward the correct directory and the installer continues. After checking D-Link's troubleshooting documentation, I'm out of ideas, and running out of patience. Most likely I'll return this to the store or buy a different brand of card.

Summary: WARNING - A Good Card BUT Painful Installations
Review: Warning! Recently, I upgraded one of my computer system with the new D-Link DFE-530TX network card and it destroyed my network system configuration file. After I installed their network driver that came with it (installation CDs) I was not able to connect to the Internet. Other computer systems that was on the same router had (no problems) access to the Internet so I knew my network router/cable were fine. I tried to dial out to the Internet but it also failed. Finally, after several hrs debugging the cause of my network problems was D-Link driver installation (CD). It corrupted my MS Windows Winsock file. I had to delete and installed a new Winsock file + Updated the Registry. Overall, the network card is OK but it does KO your MS Windows Winsock file. Used Intel and Linksys network cards with no problems - smooth and paineless installation. In the future, I will stay away from D-Link products and stick with Intel and Linksys.
