It's an old GE2000III(?) with a chip on it labelled as K1306023. After a bit of Googling, I got it working with the ne.o drivers with io=0x300 and irq=5. However, although both lights (orange and green) are on at the back of the card, and there's a single green light on my hub for the machine, I can't ping any other machines on my home network. I know the network cable is working, so I assume there's something up with the way the card is configured. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of fault? Does it matter that the 'speed' light is not lit on the hub for this machine? Many thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
