Sean or anyone (Dan, are you there?) Ok, my turn. I have a problem connecting to my local lan with my second PC, which I can't figure out. Situation: Cloned NT OS, but I have booted and connected the very same hard disk on another box. Different NIC, but NIC came out of a PC where it was working, so I don't suspect the NIC. Network connection can be unplugged from back of NIC and plugged into laptop and connect to LAN, so network connection is OK. Eliminate that. NIC plugged into failing PC shows proper network connectivity leds working. Plug it into 100mb, shows 100mb; plug it into 10mb; shows ten mb. Protocols are netbeui and tcpip. No tcp address conflicts. Subnet mask is kosher. Have booted the very same boot disk on another PC and connected. Can't ping any other pc; can't ping this pc from another. BIOS shows IRQs available for slot. Can't find IRQ assigned to nic in NT diagnostics. Only thing I can think of is bad PCI slot. Have I missed something? Anything else I should check. Apologize, haven't checked nic in other slots. Wife prohibits before supper. Nevertheless, appreciate any notions, no matter how far fetched. Leaving town and need to get (^&(^&(( running on the local LAN so I can blame Jon of Minotaur if f**d up <g>. Thanks for any help. Regards, Spots
