During installation you must set up your computer such that there are no
conflicts and all of the hardware has correct settings. 

You probably need to set your IRQ and IO ports for you ethernet card. If
this computer is still using DOS/Win then see what the settings are in DOS,
write them down, and use them during the visual configuration part of the
install.

Good luck,
