i had a similar problem a couple years ago using eepro100 cards in old machines(p100-p133) my solution was to rip out hte cards and install $12 NE2k 10baseT cards(ISA) instead..worked great. have a feeling in that case the pci bus/protocol/something wasn't very compadible.(older standards..?) nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
