The Crazy One

Looks like a driver that fits you model is listed at this link but I don't know it will work on XP.

If you have a hard time getting it detected, it might be because it is conflicting with another device. You may need to create a boot disk with 3Com's NIC software and manually set the irq and address of the adapter to something different.

If you go to 3com website you should find a utility to make changes to this card .Most probably the card is setup in jumperless mode instead of plug n play mode That utility will give you the option to change it to plug n play mode

Hi
The documentation on
http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/wxpisanc.htm#3C509
can not help me becouse Report System Compatybility
not detect my network card.
I think there is a conflict with this card and another device.
I can try to create boot disk.
elies28: I can not find any jumpers on my card.

It has no jumpers because you have to get the utility from 3Com to set the parameters. You can manually set the paramaters or you can set it to plug and play.

Here's a link to getting the software with the drivers.

The point of the http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/wxpisanc.htm#3C509 link was to point out that you probably are not going to be able to get his card to work on XP. Notice the date for the driver on the link mikecr provided, Jun 22 1999. Nearly two and half years ago. Don't get your hopes up too much; you might have to console yourself into getting a PCI card to replace the one you have. MS positioned XP as its first OS to move away from supporting ISA cards. Most of the research I have done about this card and other ISA cards where XP is concerned indicates that for the most part ISA is to a certain degree a dead issue. This doesn't mean XP has totally dropped ISA support, it just means that for non PnP ISA cards it will be much more difficult to near impossible to get them to work. If by chance you get it to work it will probably be more out of luck than anything else. Network cards are relatively cheap so why not bite the bullet and get one that is rated to work on XP? :>)

Nothing help me.
I buy new PCI NIC and have no more problmes.

Sorry, but:
My intention was to solve problems with ISA card, not to buy new PCI card.
I must buy new card becouse nobody can help me with ISA.

best regards
Alex

apsoft,

I've changed the grade because, in fact, one of the comments CrazyOne made (essentially, "you can't") turned out to be completely accurate and to the point -- the criteria on which the response should be graded.

apsoft I know you wanted to use the ISA card but what you don't seem to understand is that there is some hardware that XP will not work with no matter what you do. This particular ISA card just simply won't work on XP.
