- Sorry about the vagueness of this message, but I was in a hurry and forgot some very
- important stuff...
-
- First of all, could this problem be caused because I've hooked up my ethernet
- cable to the AUI connector on the card (a WD8003 BTW)?
-
- If this is the problem, then how to I get it to recognize the AUI instead
- of the BNC connector?
-
- Also, as I just mentioned, my card is a Western Digital 8003. Is this card
- OK? I seem to remember it being on the list of "OK" cards, but I could
- very well be wrong.
