Hi,
Willing to bet I only needed to change the PnP setting.
Yep, I think too.

However, perhaps only a PnP "refresh" (rediscover all devices) would have been enough, who knows. Sadly I don't recall what that option is called in the BIOS and unfortunately not all BIOSes have it (well, Award surely has it).
Glad it works for you. My last suggestion (for the sake of completeness) was about manually editing OS/2's "protocol.ini" file. There are sections for each NIC that *could* allow to manually override some of the configuration parameters.
But since I now know what the cause was, I doubt this would have made any difference...
Cheers,
Thomas
Oh, BTW: Can we expect some sort of "review" on RC7...?

(Just trying to make people give some feedback, regardless if that is a positive or negative one)
