Orly! I just got this from the BookPC website, maybe it can answer some
questions...
the Davicom network adapter, under Windows 95/98,
has a "store and forward" option in its properties panel.
What, exactly, this option does I'm not sure, but my best guess is
"causes the network connection to not work". Turn the option
off, and all is well.
Then again, it may give more questions than answers...
