Hello.
Last weekend I bought a netwrork card for my brand new 486 Linux server. It was "NE2000 compatible and Software Configurable" First I tried to Then I booted the good old Windows 95, and with a lot of hacking I managed te get my card in the Hardware list, without any errors ( at IRQ11 Adr 340) I thougt maybe the card would remember it's setting when I boot back to linux, but this was a big illusion...
Those settings are internal to Windows, and do not affect the card in any way - only the way Win looks for it.
- Is there maybe a test tool to check if the card is functioning?
Most software configurable cards include the config and test software on the disk that comes with them
- Is it possible to attacht my 2nd Network card to the 1st network card, which are in the same conputer, without any damage?
Why would you want to do that? There is already a built-in loopback.
