ipconfig on NT.  use winipcfg -a or /a or \a or whatever their problem
is.

the chances are zero - none that your card will work in normal operation
if it can't even pass a loopback test.  you've got to solve that on the
dos box before you will get any of this to work.  do what you need to do
to get that to work.

also, remember that freebsd drivers rarely (never?) handle auto-media
sensing. so get the utility and set it to bnc or use the ifconfig
command someone mentioned in one of the other messages posted on this
list.  that looks pretty nifty if it works, actually, i have use for it
myself.
