Thanks - I tried fixing it to IRQ11 and port 300
last night, and did a reinstall, to no avail. I've
also
tried the latest drivers from the 3com web site. I
might try the 5.3 drivers with fixed IRQ/port.
Any IRQ and port settings that are known to work,
please let me know. Also do you fix the interface
type or allow it to auto-detect?
Incidentally the 3com dos utility is very picky and
won't run of it gets a sniff of W95, I had to boot
from
a native DOS floppy I had hanging around.
