Modem Speed: No modem > Plug and Play Capability: Disabled > Full Duplex: Disabled I was having problems with my 3c509 as well. However, I did the unthinkable and R'd the FM. I couldn't turn P'n'P off because I don't have the disk. So I left the card at the default settings (IRQ10 I/O300h) and set all my other hardware to use settings that didn't conflict. Admittedly mine is TPO, but I shouldn't think that would make any difference. BTW, thanks to all for you help. Things seem to be working for now... :) Hope this helps. - -Taff.
