OK, I have tried 3, yes 3, network cards....2 were new, 1 was not
new card #1, had 98se drivers, seemed like that 5 volt issue from my first post, another site online even stated that that card does not work with 5 volt PCI slots
old card had 98se drivers, same exact errors as the first new card, 5 volt problem
new card #2 from my manager at work, it got different errors than the first 2 card I tried, I know for a fact it works with 5 volt PCI, my manager has used the same model card on 5 volt PCI slots
Now, new card #2 I know should work with 5 volt PCI and Windows 98se and it's not working correctly, I have no idea why.....if I buy a fourth network card, I think I will just be wasting money that I don't have to spend
To me it does not look like a hardware problem with the card or motherboard, but instead it seems like a software roblem, with 98se or the drivers.....but I could be wrong, since I often am, in fact, an idiot
