-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi, I had a similar problem not too long ago. I have a 486DX/25 170MB disk, 12MB w/ LinkSys EtherLan 16 and a P100, 6GB, 40MB w/ LinkSys EtherLan 16. On both machines I booted w/ the same boot disks and set each one up to use the same FTP server and even the same IP address (I did them at different times). The P100 completed flawlessly, everything downloaded and installed fine. The problem came when I tried installed over ftp on the 486 w/ the same NIC, FTP server, IP, etc... It turns out for some reason the 486 didn't like the FTP server I wanted to use for some odd reason. I simply changed to a different one and everything worked. Just an idea. As far as the NE2000 compatable NICs, I've used both LinkSys and SMC bottom line NICs ($15-$20 US) under FreeBSD and Linux. They both use the NE2000 drivers in each OS, and have performed thus far w/out a hitch.
