Thanks for the advice, but maybe I'm still a big newbie but the module was not there. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I did go over to the 3COM support site and they have a driver there. &nbsp;I have yet to install it.<br />
<br />
So my solution was to install a 3C509 NIC and installed the module that came with Linux. &nbsp;It worked well. &nbsp;I may have found an alternative, but I have not given up with the 3C095 NIC. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help. &nbsp;<br />

Re: Nic Config posted 12 Jan 00.<br />
<br />
I too am having trouble configuring my NIC card.<br />
<br />
I installed Red Hat Linux 6.1 - Workstation GNOME installation. &nbsp;The NIC I am using is a 3COM 3c905-TX.<br />
I cannot get the NIC to work properly. &nbsp;I've given the card an IP, and subnet mask however when I ping the IP address there is no response. &nbsp;I can ping the loopback successfully.<br />
<br />
I read in a previous question that I should use insmod to install a Kernel module for the NIC however, I'm at a loss as to how to do this. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks.<br />

NIC Config - 2

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
