This is a machine I am setting up for web service, so X11 is not an issue. I cannot get the boot floppies to recognize the on-board ethernet card (Netflex-3/P). Searching through the mailing-list archive led me to think I needed the Lnce driver (lnc0) so I set that up, using the config. that Win95 gave for the device's settings. No dice. Nothing shows up for the card when I try to select the interface to enable for ftping the s/w distribution. The probes scroll too fast for me to follow everything, but I don;t see anything that references the lnc0 device. I appreciate any tips from those who have worked with the model. Thanks greatly.
