Freezes computer

Like others, I had the computer freeze problem. I am running Windows 2000 Pro SP4, and even after removing all my other PCI cards, this product still froze my machine. I downloaded and installed the latest driver from D-Link's website to no avail. Be prepared to return this product.

Careful: Will Freeze Up Your Machine

My experience is like a lot of others - I bought this unit with high expectations for good performance but found that it would regularly freeze up my machine. When I removed the offending unit the freezes were gone as well. Additionally, the installation manual had erroneous information in it. Ask yourself what kind of company would put out an untested product like this and still forge ahead with a clear conscience, and that just about sums up D-Link. I would recommend LinkSys or any other vendor until D-Link improves the quality, dependability, and reliability of their products.

A PCI Freeze-up nightmare

This card is supposed to plug and play with a PCI bus. Unfortunately, it doesn't. It simply freezes the whole computer after a minute or so of running. No, I am not a numbskull, but an IT engineer with 40 years experience. What could be the problem. Well, first D-Link just don't want to recognise any issue, and their web-site FAQ gives no answer. Yes, XP is patched to the latest and greatest. And yes the Drivers are up to the latest. And yes, I did try shifting PCI slots, messing around with the DMA on or off, and evening trying other drivers known to work with D-Link. But regrettably it is back to the store. D-Link, shame on you for releasing such an unready and crap product. I know that 50% of us don't get freezes, but what about the 50% that do. Fortunately, I will get my money back. But no more fiddling around with cheap and untested junk.
