Cox Cable hi-speed is slow. Trying to install D-Link ethernet. Winsows XP can't find drivers. Install fails, many attempts and methods, e.g., where to look for drivers. D-link tech support no help. Any suggestions would be much appreciated (am about to try with another brand of E-card - which one?).

Define slow. How was this measured? What model dlink card? What install fails? ... you can't find drivers..

My D-link was DFE 530 TX+, his is DFE 550TX. Slow with cable via USB connection: 1.8 to 2.4 Mbps. Measured at a cox web site,
