I have 3 clones and a Vaio similarly connected. The Vaio has a cheap
Trust (brand) PCMCIA card, cost about �40 maybe, complete with BNC /
RJ45 adaptor. I slot it into the network at work and can move hundreds
of MB about.

I had to install the driver from an *.exe file on a floppy, as far as
I can remember...

Once you've deleted rogue devices here, Windows *should* find them
again after a restart, prompting you for drivers possibly, and
hopefully sorting everything out.

If drivers can't be found, browsing to windows\system and the like can
often keep it happy.
