You may have to specify the ioport, and interrupt when loading the ISA driver if they aren't the default for that card (read those jumpers carefully). I'd replace the card with a PCI network card if there are any spare PCI slots. We have 10/100 PCI ethernet cards just lying around at work (well actually most of them are in the "spare network card" box), so it is far quicker to switch the card, especially since you have to open the case (and often remove the card) to read the jumper settings. ISA always did suck whatever OS you use. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
