> If these NICs are 3c509s on the ISA bus, they aren't PnP not true. about half of mine are, half aren't. apparently you can change whether or not it's PnP, but i haven't been able to find the utility. you can change the irq addresses with 3c5x9cfg.exe ... 3com doesn't have it on their site any more but i've got a copy if anybody wants it. i have two 3c509's running in my backup firewall with no problems. -david - - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Olszewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Smead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Charles Steinkuehler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] tulip problems > At 05:39 PM 4/10/02 -0700, David Smead wrote: > [...] > > > >Back on the P75: I scrounged 4 NICs, 3com, 3C509B on the ISA bus.
