Following George's explanation below, if you're unable to get your SM to network properly using your current D-link network card, you might want to consider:

I have two running in my machines, one of which is a SM 3000/160.
In both cases, I installed the card, booted up, installed the software drivers, rebooted and have been sailing without a problem for months now.
From what others have said, and given my experiences, the D-link stuff isn't very good.
HTH,

From D-Link's web Site:
Q: What is the 3 wire cable included with my Ethernet adapter?
A: The cable included with your NIC is a WOL or Wake On LAN cable. Wake on LAN is an optional feature of the card and is not required for the NIC to function properly. Some new motherboards do not need the WOL cable for Wake on LAN to work. The support is built into the PCI slot, and in this case the customer will have to reference the motherboard manual or manufacturer?s website for setup information.
Both ends of the three wire cable are not the same. The connector with the large key way will connect to the motherboard, and the smaller connector will connect to the NIC. To use this optional feature you will need to have additional software installed on your computer such as Magic Packet.
I don't believe the Starmax supports WOL.

Ok, assuming that there is no such thing as a stupid question.....
I just purchased a D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Ethernet card for my Starmax 5500/200 running 8.6
I've never had the pleasure of doing this before, so was wondering what I'm supposed to do with the small green and red wire included with the card. The installation booklet that came with the card doesn't mention this wire at all. If anyone has any idea please let me know. Thanks!
