Mark,

What is the spare part number for the board you have installed? There will be a label on it stating "Use Compaq spare part #" XXXXXX-XXX.

Thanks,

Brian

hi sorry my mistake the board is actually a 3 com EtherLink XL 10/100 For Complete Pc Management NIC (3C905C-TX)

and was working fine untill about 30 mins after installation of netware when it just started to go crazy, it was just colliding and network utilisation went through the roof

since i have got the onboard one working there is no need for the additional board so it has been removed

thanks everyone for their help as you have helped solved my problems

Here is the link for the drivers for the 3COM card:

http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/result.jsp?selected=5&sort=effdt&sku=3C905C-TX-M&order=desc

The driver there is 1.5 years old so it may not solve your problem. What kind of hub/switch are you plugging it into?

actually the driver is included with netware6 so it auto installed during setup

i am using a baystack 150 (old but is able to show hub utilisation and collisions as a number not just a flshing light)

btw: the card is working fine in a 2500R server with win2k adv server

Are both drivers the same version?
