I too had problems with a 3Com509B NIC (only mine was a combo - but same difference). I eventually got it to work only by turning off pnp and setting it manually. Here's how: Goto the 3com website http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c509b.htm Download Disk 2 of the etherdisk for the 3c509-B Boot to DOS Run 3c50xcfg.exe Disable PNP {the next bit is from memory, so you better check} Set the IRQ to 10 Set the Port to 300 Exit Okay so my problem was with 2.2.5_RELEASE. But the same NIC now works with 3.2_RELEASE so this should work for you. BTW Please turn off Rich Text/HTML formatting in you mail... It irritates many more people than it impresses.
