Great! OK, you have 3 connectors on the back? OK, the TV cable looking one is a coax BNC connector for 10base2 or thin net. The one that looks like a joystick plug is an AUI port or thicknet and then there's the RJ-11 10baseT. Rerun the 3c5x9cfg and tell the card which one you want to use. Other than that, don't worry about them. Oh, the mini tube is actually a funky light bulb. It's for draining off excess power incase of a spike.
