Hi! I've got _two_ ne2000 compatibles (one realtek pci and one other isa) in my machine and they work w/o problems (and this machine also has many other cards (scsi, sb64 etc.) inside). With my isa card came a disk with a setup utility to set the i/o port of the isa card. Even if you have pnp enabled, there should be a diagnostic utility or so which will tell you the i/o port, and if you're lucky it will work under dos which you can boot from a disk. Do you have such a setup disk and a dos boot disk??
