Multi Ethernet cards

Win98 will support 3 NIC's. It's sounds like it might be an IRQ conflict problem, Especially is the NIC's are the same brand/model #. You can check if this is happeneing by going to device manager, right-click on computer, then click properties.

you should have no problems with three nics if they are all installed on seperate irqs . you can right click my computer and select properties to get into device manager . then open Network adapters and select the resources tab for each nic . uncheck the use automatic settings and change the irqs so that all of them dont conflict with any thing . If this doesnt solve the problem then you can check if there is a jumper on the nics which sets it to a certain irq .reset these jumpers to different values for all the nics and try installing them again , if this action avoids the irq conflict then all three should load successfully . sometimes there is a setting in the bios which reserves the irq on a particular expansion slot , if this is so then un_reserve the irqs in the bios to solve the issue .

Good luck !!!

Are the Cards PCI or ISA.

Are the Cards PCI or ISA.

The reason being very simple, the three nic must be on the same segment(vlan). U must make sure of that. Example the first two nic is on say 10.10.128 , the third one must also be the same.If not you will not be able to browse the network ( as your question is not so defined, i can only give you this answer, you might want to further post your question so that we guys here can help u ).
