Network Card problem

[Guest_imported]

I need help?

I have a Celeron 333MHz with 256Mb ram on a
shuttle Spacewalker Hot-661 motherboard
with intel chipset 440
20 gig hard drive
6.4 gig hard drive
50X Cd rom
4X HP Burner

On Mother board:
1 AGP slot with Monster Diamond Fusion video card
4 PCI:
PCI 1 SMC Network Card
PCI 2 ATI TV Tuner
PCI 3 Sound Blaster Live!
PCI 4 DLink Network Card
3 ISA:
ISA 1: Empty
ISA 2: Empty
ISA 3: NEWLY insert 3Com 3C509b-TPO Network Card (That's the problem)

OS: Win XP
The problem is when i installed the network card in the ISA slot, it's not detect by XP automaticly and manualy.... I tried a 3Com 3C509-combo and a Kingston KNE20-t Network card with no result...

Is there anyone out there can help me???

are there any jumpers on the 3com board?

That's a busy machine. I have used those 3COM cards and they are usually detected by the operating system. If not, you likely have a conflict - possibly with the D-Link card. You could try moving the 3COM to the other ISA slots.

There is no jumper, is suppose to be plug and "pray" and i tried it in all my ISA slots... The only thing, i gonna try it alone, with no other network card.....

In the BIOS check that all 3 isa slots are set to pnp

If you can afford to do it :
Unplug the PCI nic first, install the ISA nic.
See if the plug and pray can work for the ISA nic.
Then replug the PCI nic and try the plug and
pray. In the old days, the ISA plug and pray
does not apply all the time and in your case
you are doing 2 pnp at the same time can make
the situation harder. Anyway why do you need
2 nic in the same machine. My own experience
with this is when we use the computer as Novell
sever serving two networks. But I don't think you
are doing so, right ( you must be kidding to use
a celeron 333 to work as a server in these days)
