For > goodness sake -- don't use DOS! ;) Wheew! The netk-diag utility worked very well. This is for the nic set to io=0x240 Checking the ethercard at 0x240.

I have three identical cards (only two slots) so what am I to do. The only thing is I have only been able to use one at a time. If I do /sbin/modprobe ne io=0x240 then that nic will work. /sbin/modprobe ne io=0x340 and that one is free. I have yet to find the place in the init scripts to load the io params. I add it to the /etc/modules.conf, but that did no good. I am very pleased to get the nic running under Linux. What a real operating system! I should probably attend a meeting or something on netcat to fully take advantage of my new router/gw. -- Spencer Underground mailto:spencer at sihope.com deltree c:\windows /y whois microsoft.com -------------- next part -------------- Checking the ethercard at 0x240.
