Network card problems

[Alex Snow]

No the card doesn't have jumpers, the settings are in eeprom on the card.
If memory serves me, it's using irq10.

Now that dhcp has been disabled on my lan, the link/act light on the router
turns on during boot and remains on while the machine is running.
Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm
sick of Winblows!
