I am running ncsa 2.3b5 on an xt with a 3c503. I am using the packet driver version 5.2 as I cannot get ncsa to run its 3c503 packet driver as I always get a parity check 2 error. Any way, this has worked for me off and on. Mostly it does not work however. The packet driver loads fine, but when I run telnet it reads the config file, displays its IP address, and then says Warning, packet driver vector invalid, using default search. I do not know exactly what this means, but I can see that the ncsa does send out 2 arp requests. One to itself and one to the gateway. It then hangs and requires a reboot. I have ran all the tests that come with the board and they all pass -- including echo test. I am using interupt 4, ioaddr 0x300, address dc000 and the thin wire port. My call to start the packet driver is 3c503 0x70 0x4 0x300 1 Appreciate any help. _Jim Dryfoos
