   Did you enable the 64K of RAM on the card (is it jumper selected or soft
selected?)? If you can't enable it externally, then I can't help you without
programming information for the card - it will have to be programmed to enable
the 64K of RAM (as opposed to the 16K).

   It's probably trying to do a DNS query or ARP query or something.
