Recently I got a 366MHz Thinkpad 600E. It came without
a network card so I bought a Xircom Ethernet II 10/100 CBE2-100.
I put the card in the bottom, slot, plugged the IBM
USB-to-CAT5 cable with the adaptor to my CAT5 cable. Into
my switch, and from 4.8 floppies tried to do do a network
install.
The thing is that /stand/sysinstall only gives me two options:
SLIP and PPP. This I don't have. I got the network screen
and entered my gateway and my DNS server (NS1.THOUGHT.ORG);
still, no-joy. I toggled DCHP from hte options list, I
chose the Default address range (0x0000) and irq 3.
What am I doing wrong? Wrong card? ...
thanks in advance,
gary
