78429	2002-09-11 04:27:00	I/We recently bought an AMD computer. Recently I installed a network card into it and have been trying to make a network between it and a laptop. In the laptop i have an IBM Turbo 16/4 Token Ring PC Card 2 which is in the PCMCIA slot. I am have been try to get these to work together after being told by the person who sold the Pcmcia card that there should be no problems. I have tried everything i can think of to get them working together, ( different ip's same subsnet mask same workgroup etc) and i thought i had done it when XP told me that the network connection is active. Then about 10 seconds later it disconnected. It keeps connecting disconnecting etc. However when it is connected i can't see the laptop connected. I have tried everything i can think of and have read countless hours of information on the net about both the token ring adaptor networking and every other relevant topic all to no avail. I now think that the token ring adaptor isnt compatible/can't function as an pcmcia ethernet card. My question is am i right in say this even thought the guy who i bought it from said it would work. If it is compatible could you please advise me how to 'fix' the connection so it is connected permanently. The computer is a AMD 1.8ghz running XP and the Laptop is a Celeron 500mhz running windows 98. could it be that the OS aren't compatible. I don't have a clue so could you please advise me.	helpmeplz (1846)
