If you don't have them already, you need the 3com driver disks. On them is a DOS utility called 3c5x9cfg (this may have changed since the last time I saw it). Run that utility and do the following to the card. 1. Turn of PNP 2. change the IO port to 0x300 3. change the int to 10 That should do it. The primary thing is to disable PNP.
