Sanders, Right off the top of my head, I'd say that you are telling STN that NIC_Card is using a base address of IO=0x300 - which is most likely NOT the case! Remember, Realtek 8139-based cards should have PCI form factor and are fully Plug-n-Play. So in STN Windows-based disk building program, clear the "Base Address" field (leave it blank), then rebuild your STN disk. That way, STN should automatically determine the TRUE base address that the card is using. If by chance you still have a problem and really need to know if the card is being recognized (and is most likely functioning correctly), at STN administration shell prompt (or a Red Hat Linux shell prompt if you've booted under Red Hat Linux), type: cat /proc/pci which will return a list of all PCI devices and the low-level status. If you don't find the RealTek 8139 identified somewhere in the list (along with actual IRQ and IO address it is using), then you a low-level hardware problem - IRQ conflict, older BIOS incompatibility, or something else that you need to resolve independent of STN (or Linux). Not sure how carefully you read the archives, but all of the above advice should have been located in there, as well as some discussion about other cards that may appear to be Realtek 8139 cards or something else, and may be mislabeled. ALSO, there an older list at: http://sharethenet.listbot.com/cgi-bin/view_archive?Act=view_archive&list_id=sharethenet that was abandoned earlier this year (because "listbot" folks weren't doing such a good job of providing there service). It contains several similar posts I made regarding the RealTek 8139 but perhaps some more in depth discussions about ethernet cards under Linux/STN in general. Regards and your welcome, Steve _______________________________________________ ShareTheNet maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.webserv.com/mailman/listinfo/sharethenet
