Re: [TCLUG:5708] Need help in setting up NIC

[Chris Kesler <chris@pconline.com>]

The problem might be with the I/O address.  I usually jumper my SMC cards
for 300,10,cc000.

Yours is showing 340,10,c8000.  

If your card has jumpers, try setting them to use 300 and cc000. 
Otherwise, there's a DOS program that you can use to flash your card. 
I believe it's called ezsetup.
