Hi netters, I asked a question about 3c523 cards before and got a good response. Thank you all again. I have a tougher question now. I just downloaded Version 8 of the clarkson packet drivers which includes a driver for the ISOLINK ethernet card. I have tried loading the packet driver but it does not work. The packet driver runs without complaint, but the ethernet address of the card that is displayed by the program is 00:00:00:00:00:00. Hence I dont think the packetdriver is talking to the card properly. Has anybody had success with a ISOLINK BICC 4113 card? How did you get it to work. The address of the card is 0xC000 which the packet driver doesn't need to know (which I think is strange), is there an option I dont know of? Software comes with the card is it necessary to load this or does the packet driver do it all? If somebody has got a ISOLINK card and has got the packet driver to work, could you tell me the parameters you use when you call the packetdriver. Also the jumper settings of the card. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -- Ian Crakanthorp e-mail: ian@atom.lhrl.oz.au ANSTO phone : +61 2 543 3365 Australian Nuclear Science Fax : +61 2 543 9273 & Technology Organisation

Any help would be appreciated. 1/. I think Russ Nelson said that this was buggy: 2/. We may try it later. 3/. Please anyone - post any info to the net so we can all get the latest.

From the responses I received I solved my problem thank you. It seems I had an 8-bit ISOLINK card, for which you use the ISOLAN.COM packetdriver. The ISOLINK.COM packetdriver is for the 16-bit BICC 4110-2 cards. The description says the bug occurs when talking to a VAX and that other people who have used it haven't complained. As I dont have a 16-bit card I cannot tell you how buggy it is.
