It certainly is - it means the driver for the ethernet card isn't detecting the card. Do you know what i/o port it's using?

Usually, the NICs come with a diskette, containing a small DOS pgm which can do the trick. > BTW I don`t know if this is relevant but if I do "lsmod" the at1700 driver > doesn`t show and if I do"modprobe at1700" I get this message: > > FUDO2:/home/paul# modprobe at1700 > /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/at1700.o: init_module: Device or resource busy > > Is this important?

IRQ 11 will work fine as long as 1) the card supports IRQ 11 and 2) Nothing else is using IRQ 11 > Also although ipchains is installed it`s not working (according to a > quick glance at the HOWTO I need to patch the kernel) > > FUDO2:/home/paul# ipchains -L > ipchains: cannot open file `/proc/net/ip_fwnames' You should make sure you're using a 2.2 kernel (highly recommended by me if you haven't already).

Ethernet irq #3
Thanks again. Please excuse my ignorance but what would be the best way to change the irq and is 11 a good choice? Also although ipchains is installed it`s not working (according to a quick glance at the HOWTO I need to patch the kernel) FUDO2:/home/paul# ipchains -L ipchains: cannot open file `/proc/net/ip_fwnames' Is this a problem or can I ignore it at least for the moment? Although one day I wil want to connect the win95 box to the internet through the network.
