The system is a laptop and uses a 3-COM 3C589C PCMCIA card - before I get flamed, I know this is not strictly a supported card (as is the 3C589B) - but I couldn't get a 3C589B ! When installing the diagnostics appear to give conflicting information: ze identifies the card as a 3C589, whilst zp probes give its ethernet address ! It attempts to load from zp0 and fails - can't resolve IP host - strange since other systems on the same physical network have no problem (using the same gateway and resolver). Has anyone else seen this and/or can give me hints/tips if it is possible to use the 3C589C card ? All help appreciated. TIA Stuart.
