I appreciate the URL. I'm about to go get another NIC (this one is ancient anyway) from a friend that's on the list just to make sure. :o) It's still going to be on an ISA bus, b/c my secondary computer only has one PCI slot and it's being used by the video card (disabled the onboard crap you get with OEM computers). Just so I can be prepared, can you please tell me what I should do after I physically install the new NIC? I've heard something about a visual kernel editor (?!?) or something like that, but I don't know where it is or if it exists.
