This will not help you much but I have a Realtek 8139 which XP detected & installed when I installed the OS. I will have a look & find out which drivers are installed etc. & get back to you.

Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Checked my driver file in device manager and it says:-
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\RTL8139.sys

If this is the driver it has loaded & the card isn't working then I would suspect your card may be duff.

Hope this info helps

Using a Realtek 8139 in one of my boxes with no problems. You may want to download updated drivers from Realtek

Uninstall you NIC and reinstall using the new drivers.
