Thanks to all who replied! My network is working fine right now. appearenty none of the drivers on the cd will work with a FA311 (I could be wrong, but i tried to find one), so I compiled a new one from http://www.scyld.com/network/index.html, called natsemi (National Semiconductor) I was very

HI Jeff, I've got the same card and for me it worked right out of the box. I guess that doesn't help, but: If you think the CD you have is bad look at the checksums (md5sum I think). Try a clean install and don't do anything to the modules when prompted (I left them alone and it worked).

Probably not your problem, but make sure you have turned off plug and play OS in your BIOS. This caused a major headache for me with another card. Also, the ethernet howto may be helpful as well as looking at the web sites for the driver of your card (probably listed in the source for your driver

Hi, which NIC do you have? I have a Netgear FA312 this does not use the tulip drivers, it uses the natsemi driver. I have used both the drivers that came with the card on the diskette and from http://www.scyld.com and both work. HTH Bill C Jeff Davis wrote: I have been reading docs
