Subject: Network card trouble
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
configure the card whith the shiped diskette, which let me to set base
adress, an Interupt setting. Unfotunatly, this wasn't going to work. The
next thing I tried was to boot a one disk linux distro (from Toms ;) But it
only showed my already working NE2000 card at adress 300 IRQ5. 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...
- Any thing I forgot?
- Is there maybe a test tool to check if the card is functioning?
- Is it possible to attacht my 2nd Network card to the 1st network card,
which are in the same conputer, without any damage?
Thanks in advance..
