Can't see the xircon nic on a toshiba laptop.<br>There are no conflicts.
 
Had the same problems with the xircom modem/nic. I think it was an IRQ issue or it was conflicting with another card. Check network protocols, etc.
 
I've had similar problems with Xircom cards with Tosh's in the past, but generally with 95. I had to remove it totally including manually from the registry as in the uninstal text file that comes with it.

If it's a DOS boot disk try putting a memory exclusion in the config.sys as I had that problem before.(I think this is also documented somewhere on the disk, sorry to be so vague, but this is from memory from 2 years ago)

Also try dissabling the IR port or built in modem if it has one.

I hope this is of some help, I've not had too many fond memories of Xircom!
