I'm not following which card you tried in which machine and which O/S, but
...
Did you delete the original card before installing the new one?
Did the driver install okay? "Usually", it'll die on install if it's not
seated properly.
If push comes to shove, remove the NIC, delete all network settings
(adapter, protocols, all services), reboot and then reinstall.

Subject: [PCBUILD] network card, adapter, tcp/ip
Hi all,
I had a network card fail and purchased another. The first one was a
Kingston 10/100 something or another. The replacement is a Linksys10/100
something or another. The network is NT. The replacement card is in a
Windows'98 workstation. I took a Kingston from another "less used"
workstation and replaced it where the card had failed. All works fine with
that computer. With the workstation that needed the card (Linksys), I've
installed the card, installed the adapter, and created the TCP/IP protocol
with the correct address on the network. Problem is, I can't see the rest
of
the network from that machine. I checked and double-checked the tcp/ip
attributes and they look fine. There is a signal at the rj45s on the back
of
the workstation and at the hub. I hope there is enough information here for
someone to offer some help. My thoughts are that either the card is bad, I
haven't installed it correctly, or the workstation isn't logging on to the
server correctly. If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas I'd sure like to
hear them. Incidentally, I don't know anything about networking as I am
filling in for the administrator who cannot be contacted at this time. All
help appreciated.
TIA
Paul Roeth
