I recently installed a 3Com Etherlink 3c905c-tx-m Fast Ethernet PCI card on my
DFI K6BV3+ board (it has an AMD k6-III 400 chip and 64 megs). It is recognized
in the Device configuration screen, but I can't get any logon - it won't
display the other computers in the network (I am connecting into a college
ethernet system from my apartment). Someone from the college came and tested
the wires and the jack, and both are good. I spent 11/2 hours on the line with
a guy @ 3Com, but we couldn't make any headway. He suggested I go through a
complete uninstall/reinstall of all of the Dial-Up networking files via
Microsoft's instructions from their knowledgebase. So I uninstalled the
driver, physically removed the card, and followed the instructions. At the
end of it all, it's exactly the same -- no logon. The diagnostic tool that
came with the card says that the network connection works, but when I run the
diagnostic tool on the NIC itself, it crashes thae computer and restarts it.
Any ideas?
