    having probs with this ****ing thing.
    The actual card runs grand, but when booting NT up, ( NT 4, sp6) the event log keeps saying that the 3com 3c95X bus master driver failed to load, cause of a prob with some device ..
    i'm having this same problem on 2 pc's with nt server installed.. any ideas ?

    you sure theyre the right drivers?
    i mean, are you absolutely sure?

    and you say the cards run grand you just get a message saying that a device driver failed to load?
    hmmm, sounds like my system. i get that everytime i boot up and i couldnt be arsed to find out what it is coz everything works grand...strange huh?

    hmmm 2 things. Re-install sp6 (sometimes ya need to after installing network drivers, 'specially 3coms) and fiddle with busmastering in yer bios. Other than that let sleeping dogs transmit packets.

    If it ain't a typo then you have 2 network drivers or just services loading....3c95x, rather than 3c90x. Go looking for the other one in your net section or Devices in CTRL-Panel.
