thank god i got it working.. i took the 3Com dos util for my card and 
placed the exe on a dos bootdisk and ran it. i saw pnp was 
already  disconfigured ;(.but! i saw the ports and irq of it, i knew 15 was 
in use or something so i just used the auto configure thing in the program 
and it works perfect now!!!!!!!!!! its on port 300 irq5, its a beauty,,cept 
i see it has some other connecions on the back of my card, a paralell port 
like one and a werid ass one that looks like u could plug ur cable wire for 
ur tv in there, its a mini tube kinda sticking out with a place for a wire 
in the middle..odd, so if anyone knows what i can use these other 
conections for thatd be nice..other than that thanks for the help!!!!!!!!
