Hi, Is the NIC beeing detected properly by the kernel? Either watch the boot messages for anything talking about an ep0 device, or do this from the shell prompt: dmesg |grep ep0 Your kernel may say something like: Device ep0 not detected at 0x300, irq 10. I would disable plug and play on the NIC (using the disk from 3com) and make note of what IO address and IRQ the NIC is using also. Boot your machine, and when it says "booting kernel in 10 seconds..." press any key (which gives you a prompt). Then type: boot -c This will (soon) dump you in the kernel configuration interfase (a `config>' prompt). Type the following (substituting your actual IO and IRQ values): port ep0 0x310 irq ep0 10 q Now see if the NIC is detected. Hope this heops -- Ivan. On Tue, 29 Feb 2000, Fred J.
