On my coyote linux box I don't have a good windows and didn't want to deal with it. So I was able to boot with FreeDOS (I just used their install disk, since it had enough to boot with), reconfigure my 2 3c509's with the 3com driver and ever since then, my coyote firewall's been working just fine. In fact, it's been a lot easier to deal with my dsl since I got the coyote working and could just have my desktop use the coyote dhcp. Setting up the dual nics on my desktop was a pain in the butt, and I was never confident I'd got it quite right.... R
