I'm suspicious of interrupt 2. Too many VGA boards cause problems there. We could not get our WD 8003 to work until we could rebuild the kernel and put it on int 3. You didn't metion assigning a route. You need to do something like one of the commented-out "route add" commands in /etc/netstart. -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access.
