That's a thought, I'll drop my DCA or other in it...or wait until I get my
two Olicom 10/100's in early next week.

Russ,
This is a common problem with 3COM's, especially with Win NT, they just
don't play well together and despite changing settings in the MCA nvram,
they usually still wont cooperate well together. Try using a 3COM and
another brand like SMC or DLink which will not try to fight it out with the
other 3COM.

Subject: Two NICs in one machine - how?
Curious if any ethernet experts are out there - I finally got my PS/2
9595-OPT server out of storage and built with WinNT4.0 and originally wanted
to put two NICs in - one is a 3Com 3C523 with AUI/Coax and the other is a
3C529TP with AUI/RJ45 - both ethernet though. NT finds thema nd seems to
agree with them and I am able to give each a TCP/IP address but the network
never comes up. If I pull the 523 (or even the 529) it does. Where's the
conflict coming from? What's the easiest way to correct this? I've had token
ring and ethernet in at the same time int he past fine but the problem seems
to be due to the same type of network topology being duplicated.
