As I often say, there are many cases where I would rather be wrong. This
is one of them. I have to suspect that your NIC and Steve's switch are
somewhat incompatible. It's not supposed to be this way, but it does
happen.

1K port?

Ship me copies of:

\config.sys
\ibmcom\protocol.ini
\mptn\bin\setup.cmd

from volume E: and volume P: and I will update the volume E: files to
enable both NICs.

Steven
