3com and dlink adapters

I have not had any problems with dlink and 3com NICs and hubs. If you havent tried to re-install the drivers, do so. If still not working try the card in a diff. machine. I have 3com hubs and switches and a few dlink NICs, the only complaint i have w/ dlink is that they want you to see thier banner on boot up (resolved with removing it from start up in msconfig (98 only)). Make sure the NIC is compatible with your PC, it could be that your net-properties are not set correctly. Install Netbeui and tcp/ip in the respective order, and check the bindings. If still does not work try setting a static ip. Hope that helps, good luck.

You should check all settings on the NICs. Try setting them to 10Meg-Half duplex and see if that works. Also newer 3Com cards have power management features enabled by default that will cause the power to the card to be cut after a period of inactivity even if the card is logged on to the network. Hope that helps, Will.
