Hello all, I am very happy to say that after many hours of IRC chat and many emails, I have finally fixed the problem I was having. The program 3c5x9cfg.exe did it, and after reconfiguring the card, all worked. The server (which I have named newman (after the Seinfeld character, since the compute

Does anyone have that utility. I could not find it. All I found out was that it is called 3c5x9cfg.exe. I found out that the card has an IRQ of 5 (as printed at startup). However, it says nothing about IO. The IRQ is shared by no other (PCI, there are no other ISA devices) device. However, I rea
