Intermittent Network Problem

[Andy Boersma]

Victor,

Are the cards identical model?

Or are they different brand/Model??

Do they have jumpers to allow you to re-assign the memory allocation??

Most times, new cards do not have IRQ conflicts any more but memory overlap.

Using a different brand name most times will work if they don't have 
jumpers to re-assign the memory.
