I haven't looked at this program lately, but it used to be broken for NE2000 support. The problem was that the probe for the wd card prevented the ne probe from occuring. The solution is to remove wd and 3com support from the boot program. (although I would expect you to get a "card not found" error from this). Another problem I saw someone have once was their believing that netboot.com was a standalone (ie, 'bootable') program. It must be on a DOS SYS diskette and either manually invoked from the DOS command line or invoked from your autoexec.bat file. Try changing the Makefile from: NS8390= -DINCLUDE_WD -DWD_DEFAULT_MEM=0xD0000 NS8390+= -DINCLUDE_NE -DNE_BASE=0x320 NS8390+= -DINCLUDE_3COM -D_3COM_BASE=0x300 to: NS8390= -DINCLUDE_NE -DNE_BASE=0x300 -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
