Zeuspaul, What you have is almost certainly an IRQ conflict. You probably have an older sound card that is not PnP compliant. Sound cards tend to grab the resources THEY want, irregardless of what Windows assigns. You can probably fix things by going into the Device Manager area of System Properties as previously described. If not, you might want to reinstall windows with the network card installed. When asked, let Windows locate installed hardware. This will not affect any of your apps or files, but may allow Windows to sort out your various cards. I think the most I ever learned about Windows95 was during the week it took to get my first home network up and running using noname $15 Chinese network cards. Using 3Com cards greatly simplified the process when I upgraded. When you finally get your net up and running, you'll have a real sense of accomplishment. I can just about guarantee that before that time, you'll beat your head on the wall and decide a home network is not such a good idea. Once you get the first two computers up and talking to each other, subsequent ones are a snap. Good luck on the ovens. Ken
