TTN2-
thx for both posts again I am impressed with your quick response!
the ip's I get I have no idea where they are coming from! I install everything (props to all the suggestions on the bbs) and got 98se running like a dream only I forgot to set an active partition a couple times(hate when that happens). I installed a kingston kne30t 10bt and windows recognized it fine, only I couldn't browse the network. I thought it might possibly be a 98lite thing so I went to full 98se and no dice. I even used an intel 10/100 generic nic and windows told me that it wasn't running properly, tried the kingston fine and then the intel same thing! I would run winipcfg from windows and find a really weird ip address assigned to the nic. I have a linksys router handing out dhcp and never a failure on it. I would run ipconfig at dos prompt and same thing and I can't release them or renew without crash. Just some really weird stuff going on. ip ranges totally different from anything these cards have ever used or been assigned. Weird! Any ideas?
I will give the irq thing a try and that sounds like the problem.
I am still a little unsure of how to flash the bios... it sounds from other threads that this is part of the problem.
if anyone can give me info separate of this thread here is me email jp_dog@hotmal.com
