It came without a network card so I bought a Xircom Ethernet II 10/100 CBE2-100. I put the card in the bottom, slot, plugged the IBM USB-to-CAT5 cable with the adaptor to my CAT5 cable. Into my switch, and from 4.8 floppies tried to do do a network install. The thing is that /stand/sysinstall only gives me two options: SLIP and PPP. This I don't have. I got the network screen and entered my gateway and my DNS server (NS1.THOUGHT.ORG); still, no-joy. I toggled DCHP from hte options list, I chose the Default address range (0x0000) and irq 3. What am I doing wrong? Wrong card? ... thanks in advance, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
