Did you check if there were any IRQ or I/O addressing conflicts. If not, check
the Device Manager in the Control Panel for available IRQ and I/O. We usually
use IRQ 10 and I/O 340. It also may help to install the Kingston Drivers from
DOS.

Sometimes the PCI Steering conflicts with PCI network cards. This can also be
checked in the Device Manager.
