This is mostly implied by the phrase, "configured incorrectly" (and by Michael's comment about serial ports), but I want to emphasize that this problem can be caused by an interrupt conflict (e.g., two boards configured to use the same IRQ). The NE2000 clone could be configured correctly, but some other board (possibly the serial port) could be misconfigured to use the same IRQ. I know -- I ran into this exact problem a couple of days ago. ;-) -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
