[Freedos-user] Netgear LNE100TX
Hi, I have been having trouble setting up my ethernet card on my freedos installation. I am currently attempting to set up this card with the LNE100TX.com packet driver. I run the driver with LNE100TX 0x60 and I get the following Autonegotiation Not Complete Packet Driver Interrupt Number 0X60 IO Port 0xDC00 Hardware Interrupt Number 11 Media Type Is 100baseTX Full Duplex My Ethernet Address Is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Packet Driver is loaded at segment 3C2 I have my network wired from my DSL router to an 8 port 10/100 mbps switch. From there it goes to my windows 10 pc and my freedos pc. I have tried about every switch option with the packet driver and I keep getting the same result. Is this a hardware problem with the ethernet card or is it a router issue? Also could this be an IRQ conflict? Thanks. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I did the nicscan. Just to see if it would recognize the card. I didn't think to search for the driver based on the result. I just downloaded the driver based on a Google search for the card. I'll nicscan it again and see it it's different. On Mon, Jul 26, 2021, 7:36 PM Louis Santillan wrote: > Try using Georg Potthast's NICSCAN [0][1] or David Dunfield's > PCINIC [2][3] to find the NIC.

Re: [Freedos-user] Netgear LNE100TX
I originally thought that it might be an irq conflict. Because irq 11 was used by multiple devices according to bios. But I switched the card to another pci slot and it worked. So it must have been a bad connection like you said. It was still irq 11, but I got a valid address, and DHCP worked. Thanks for all the help.
