(It should be either green for 100Mbps or yellow for 10Mbps). Is the card auto sensing or does it have to be configured to use the RJ-45 port? There doesn't appear to be any files with the driver to do this. Or could it be something else? Any help/advice on this would be very much appreciated.	Guest (0)

If you want 100Mb signaling from an ISA card I suggest you get a 3c515 card from 3com. the Util to configure your card from dos is 3c5x9cfg.exe which can be downloaded from the 3com site.	Guest (0)
