I solved my problem.

It helps to read the instructions. I was trying to do the installation
directly from the CD. I was not installing from the boot floppis. Booting
from the floppies allows for interogating the hardware for any conflicts. I
found 7 conflicts and resolved them for my NIC card.

Fixed the problem.

Thanks

-Allen
