Thanks for the reply Jim! I have a standard NE2000 card (cheap one I got for about $20).
Everything was working fine until my last moves that I described below. My network was working after the potato upgrade until I "fixed" the last two problems taht dselect caused. I rebooted, and the network card was no longer detected. The card is a ISA card. Jim wrote: > Hi Doug, sorry you've been missed by people on the list.
