-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd like to thank everyone who offerred help/tips/advice with my recent problem of a non working network. After searching long and hard, I eventually found that my Windoze box was at fault (are you surprised?) The problem lay in the routing of IRQs by windoze. The BIOS was assigning IRQ 11 to the NIC, but Windoze was assigning IRQ 10 to the NIC. If I changed the BIOS to IRQ 10, windoze changed it's assignment to IRQ 11. Follow so far? The solution was to reserve IRQ 05 and 10 through the system applet in windoze and then set the BIOS to assign IRQ 11 to the NIC. Problem solved. Windoze could only use IRQ 11 for the card and so it did. Once I got this conflict sorted out, FTP and HTTP worked great. I did a simple test and managed to push 500kB/s (that's bytes, not bits) through the full-duplex network. How does this stack up for a similar system for data read straight from IDE to NIC and saved to IDE?? The files were all roughly 6MB long, so the link setup time was at least not a significant portion of the total time.
