"JASON, YOU ROCK!! Who da man? Who da man? YOU da Man! YOU da Man!"

"Your driver work great. God bless you. You can skip church next Sunday. Thank you very much."

"Thanks to your driver. It worked perfectly. Under P4-1.8Ghz/W2K Server-SP2/512MB, my net is flying.."

"Muchas Gracias por los drives fueron de mucha utilidad en la coneccion de mi casa, ya que ni en 3COM tenian los drivers, muchas Gracias"

"THANKS!!!! 3com really missed this one. I have been searching for weeks. Works great. Thanks again!"

"YOU THE MAN!!! THANX A MILLION FOR THE DRIVERS!!! NO THANKS TO 3COM FOR THIS DRIVERS BUNCH OF ASS HOLES. THANX AGAIN MAN"

"I just installed Win 2K Pro, i didn't find the drivers on the 3Com site. But, your are THE MAN! THANX ALOT!!!"

"Help me in my problem. I have Win2000 Server and 3c450. After installing your driver system give me "Network Cable Disconnected", net doesn't work. Thanks."

"omg....thank u so much supid 3com can use a person like u in there company"

"Using MS Windows 2000 Server SP 2, it WORKS GRAET !!! THANK YOU"

"Jason saves the day! I had to build an emergency Win2k DNS server today using an old Win98 machine. It had a 3c450 NIC and your driver update worked like a charm! It's up and running and hasn't missed a beat. Thanks!"

"Nothing but the best! Your driver worked well with 2K Prof. Thanks a million!!! Thanks Allen"

"With Windows 2000 Pro this driver works almost perfectly. There is some packet loss that isn't really convinient if your an online gamer but, like me, it's good enough untill you decide to get a new nic. Awesome work, thanks a million. Now if 3com could get there heads out of there asses and stop leaving there customers out in the cold we'd all be happy."

"Thank you so much! You are a life saver!"

"I dono I installed it and it came up with This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

"OMG! AWESOME THANKS! BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR EVER! Thanks, George"

"Window 2000 Advanced Server Works solid as a rock! How the * did you made it? Another HUGE THANK YOU"

"Well, not so fortunate for me. I did get it installed, but I am trying to set up my Win2k machine as a server to host the dsl connection for my other pc. When the internet is connected to one nic, the other nic will always say "Network Cable Disconnected". And it doesn't matter which one (either the D-link or the 3com) is the internet connection. I can swap them without rebooting, release/renew and get an ip on the other nic, and then the other will show "Network Cable Disconnected". Maybe it's not the nic, but it sure is frustrating, and would like to know if anyone is having any luck with this type of setup. I tried using both Wingate and Sygate's software, and neither helped fix the problems (with assigned or specified ip addresses)."

"WOW! man you rock!!! you realy realy rock dude ), hey do u know where i can get one for win95 or if i can make this work for win 95 at all? Thanks!"

"YOU ROCK DUDE! that means alot from a system test engineer. Rhett D"

"It didnt work form me, it wanted to work with win2k, but the device didnt show up once the driver attempted to load. The driver does work with win98"

"Jason, Let me add my many thanks to all the others for your sucessful effort on the win2k driver. It still is buyer beware!!!! Wayne"

"Jason... thank you for your efforts... you have saved many people a great deal of time. Your karma will be greatly enhanced by this submission. )"

"Another success story!!!!! Thanks ever so much. I can't believe you can't get updates on the 3com site for a kit that was on the market up to about 18 months ago -- but there's nothing at 3com. It was easy to install and it works better than the original drivers did with Windows 98. Again, terrific work. Thanks for making my life much easier!"

"Thanks a lot. It worked well. Too bad 3 com can support their crap. You saved me a lot of time."

"thank you Jason. Can you tell me How I can make this driver works for WinNT 4.0? Thanks again"

"Just as the drivers I posted (Win2K and NT), installation runs smoothly and apparently everything is OK until you try pinging another directly connected workstation and loose over 35% of replies and get constant timeouts when accessing resources trough this board. If anyone is actually getting some work done with this NIC please let me know it might just be my case (even though everything works OK when I replace the NIC). I'm getting really tired of these NICs and am trying different drivers until I loose my patience and I through them out the window. Good luck !!"

"Does this driver work for windows ME."

"Thanks a lot! My 3C450 has been sitting gathering dust for a year now, since I installed Win2K everywhere."

"works like a charm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Rodney"

"I haven't tried the driver yet, but the fact that this is even here is just great! I can't believe 3COM doesn't make a driver for their product. You are the man!"

"This even works on Windows XP! You are truly all that and then some...I...I...love u man!"

"Jason,dude - you rock!!! Been searching for Win2k drivers for 3C450 forever! Will be trying a.s.a.p. Thanks!"

"I got the driver but i don't know what and how to install. can anyone help? I tried installing the file but it's not working...help"

"Just wanted to add my thanks.. this driver was a big help.. saving me both time and money. 3Com's customer support is clearly second rate."

"Thanks so Much...This driver actually WORKED! Thanks so much, again.... -Jacob"

"It works fine. Now why couldn't 3com do that? No budget to support a discontinued product? Or just dumb management? Thanks a million!"

"well the card worked fine after driver install on win2k pro workstation build 2195, but my modem was unable to agree on PPP protocols with my ISP's server. Also boot took a lot longer, and the OS ran a lot slower in general. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both items and nothing worked, so I reinstalled win2k and left the NIC out...wondering if there still some sort of bug in the drivers to cause this..."

"I did not work for me. installer goes to infinite loop searching for HC45XND5.sys. any help will be appreciated"

"Thanks dude! This is all I needed to get my Tiny God working!"

"i agree with all the above YOU Rock JASON this drive works well, I did have to go to device manager and set it up for auto detect on the 10/100 setting, the world needs more peeps like you"

"thanks Don! It´s work fine!"

"After hours of searching....this one works."

"Wow its about time somebody got a driver working for 2k, Would somebody mind sending me the Original Drivers, I lost my cd and of course 3com has no drivers for it on their site as usual."

"Good Lord! Thank you JASON!!!!"

"Oh My God! Jason you rule!!!! Installed it on my Win2K Pro and it works perfectly. 3com bites."

"Jason is a genius! I installed his driver on two Win2K Professional workstations and they started talking immediately - something I wasted days on trying to achieve using 3Com drivers. Thanks."

"Didn't quite work for me, but I do appreciate the valient effort. I think it just conflicted with my 3dlabs video card. Thanks anyway -B"

"Just downloaded the driver and tried it with Windows XP Beta 2 and it works like a charm. Heck, I wouldn't be able to post this comment without it. Great work. Cheers, Grant"

"Downloaded this file 4 times and every time it had a different name. I would be very careful about using this file!!!"

"Did not work for me. Tried it three times. Downloading and installing."

"Jason, Congratulations on a job well done! I've been testing the driver for a while now, and it's rock solid for Windows2000 Professional. Great job! Now only if you could make a color NTSC descrambler...."

"hey man that f*ckin rules go to www.glitchedmind.cjb.net and get me contact info i have a offer for you i love you dude, in a non sexual kind of way -D de de de no more win9x crashes de de de YAHOO"

"Thanks! After spending an hour searching the 3Com site and getting nowhere this was a wonderful! It works great!"

"Thanks Jason you saved me 40 bucks!"

"Works great! Thanks for one less headache!"

"Thanks! I have been looking from 3com forever for this driver! I am glad you shared your talent with me!"

"Installed it on Win2K Pro, worked fine. Thanks a lot!"

"works awesome on win2k professional thanks dude!"

"Great!!! works on 2k and 2k server thanks a lot !!!"

"Thanks a lot! It works perfectly! I even called 3Com and asked them to make one, but they told me the netcard was for home use, and w2k is not for home use, thus they won't make a driver. You rock! They suck! ) -B"

"Way to go !!!! Works perfectly on my Win2k Server. EXCELLENT !!! Thanks a lot !!"

"You da man Jason! I loaded the driver with Window 2000 Advanced Server and it works. Thanks Don"
