Okay... so I am 100% certain the packet driver I need to use is E100PKT as my integrated NIC is an intel and the device ID is 1039, in the E1100PKT.TXT (attached) it has my device ID listed as supported. Yay. However I can't get it to work. I added this line in my FDAUTO.BAT file: E100PKT.COM /i <int_60>
The syntax "<int_no>" in the documentation is perhaps a little confusing. In this case it would be taken to mean "replace <int_no> with the integer interrupt number you choose" so your command whould be for example E100PKT.COM /i 60
However I get this error when I reboot: "can not redirect input from file int_60"
The reason for the message is that if in the command line you use the '<' character, the operating system will try to open a file or device which has the name following the '<' character, read it, and send the content that it reads to what's called the 'standard input' of the program (in this case E100PKT.COM) so that it can process that input. But there isn't a file called 'int_60', which is what the message says. The OS will also do probably try to do something funky when it sees the '>' character, so don't do that either unless you really mean it. Please note that some programs can be a bit fussy about whitespace so you might sometimes need to experiment with having a space or no space between things like the '/i' and the '60'. I don't know if that's the case here or not, I suspect not. You will always need a space (well at least one, more will most probably be OK) before the '/i'. Tabs are OK instead of spaces most of the time but I don't recommend you rely on it.
