I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I am attempting to install a different 3com nic card in a NT 4.0 Workstationthat I am setting up. I have downloaded the driver from driver guides.com. I Go to add the new driverin Network adaptors after the Yoshi unzip utility extracts everything. But then I get the error "Can't find Oemsetup.inf files" I am doing something incorrect. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to point the install to the directory where the unzip put the driver files and possibly to a subdirectory within it depending.

Look for the file oemsetup.inf in that directory.

The only .inf files that I see in the unzipped folders/files is a oemsetup.inf under a WFW311 folder(Windows for workgroups)? and also a w9xel90x.inf file. I have pointed the install to both of these files but I still get the same previous error message.
The driver download is a 3com 3c905b-tx driver file.
Any more suggestions appreciated.
I have searched the downloaded floppy for all .inf files and this is all that shows
 
I tried the FTP site above but I still get the same oemsetup error in my first post.. Either I am making a procedural error or something else.
Does anyone have any further suggestions??
This is aggravating!!
THnks in advance

ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c90x/3c90x2.exe -it should work.

I tested it on my NT box.

Thnks for your help. I pulled down you file but its still not working. I will describe my procedure
1.Download the file to my floppy and run the 3c90x2.exe which unzips the files and creates directories on the floppy.
2. I open adaptors in network neighborhood,click Add, and HaveDisk,and type a: and click OK. At this point it tries to find the file but gives me the "Can't find OEMSETUP.INF file. I have also tried putting the complete path a:\ndis2\dos\oemsetup.inf Same error.
What am I doing wrong here.
I am not usually this stupid.
