A++ Matt,
Thanks for you update, but btw, I replaced my ethernet to another old
NE2000 card and now it's connecting fine, please let me know if I will
have any more advantages if I hocked my 3com 3c905B-TX ethernet card
back on. i.e. this current card is with a ISA interface where the 3com
is a PCI interface.
thanks again.
Pat
