I picked different settings for what they call I/O base address which corresponds to the 0x240 line on ed0 and the 0x260 line on ed1. I can also set the IRQs which I did; ed0=9 & ed1=11. There are no conflicts AFAIK as self-testing shows both cards working OK. Do you have any other ideas? The cards are LinkSys Ether16 LAN cards if that helps. > of a software utility.

I know I keep saying it but thank you again for your time on this. I really appreciate it and am anxious to take on the task of setting up NAT and filters.
