Which IRQ does your Ethernet Card use ? If it collides with your sio
interrupt, sio won't be seen... And for Jaisihma: Get a program
like "M$ System Diagnose msd.exe" or something like that to see what
IRQ and hardware addresses your sio ports are using. It may also
be shown on system start (power-on). Maybe IRQs or Addresses are
different than the usual ones. You'll have to type "-c" at boot
prompt then and change the sio devices to the right IRQ a/o hardware
addresses.
