Ouch!

I've had a case similar to your own, without the crashing. We had one
computer that would NOT give us the login screen. The only way we could get
the login window and it actually work was to select Start--Shutdown--Log on
as another user. Granted, this was a Win95 PC. Good luck.

Subject:  [PCBUILD] 3Com Fast Ethernet problems




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?
