Then I connected another PC (Win95) via the generic NE2000 (that was installed and apparently fine) on ed0. It will work great for 1-5 minutes, ppp aliased Internet and all, but inevitably it will lock up without a burp. If I remove the LAN connection it's solid as a rock. I've scoured DejaNews etc. but still no clues. I tried the TCP extensions mod in sysconfig to no avail. What should I do, replace the NE2000 (I tried the ones I had, all the same) or wait to see how 2.2RELEASE fares? Anything I'm missing? I'd be very happy with a "RTM" at this point if you could just clue me to the right "M"! Appreciate any help...
