What kind of cards are you using in the old router? I am surprised at that
unless the resources they used are in conflict with something in the new
machine(i/o or irq).
I would find a 'Mon & Pop' computer store and get a NE2000 compatible ISA
nic for the STN. I have great sucess doeing that.

Subject: [ShareTheNet] NIC problem
I'm trying to migrate my STN router over to a newer Pentium 166MHz
machine I was recently given. It's a Compaq Presario 4712, with the
hard drive removed, and 48MB RAM. Only problem is, it's not
recognising network cards. None of the ISA-type cards I've got are
recognised, including ones that work in the 486 I'm currently using
as my router. So, I bought a new Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PCI LAN
card, which the BIOS sets up as IRQ 11, base IO address 0x1000. It,
too, isn't recognised, and during the boot sequence a message pops up
which says "eth0: not found". I tried using the generic NE2000
driver for STN, as well as the "Kingston, Linksys, SMC4832, SMC9332,
ZNYX3" drivers, and no help. Anybody have any ideas?
