Hi all,

I am happy to have found a group dedicated to Minix.  I recently started
reading A. Tannenbaum's Computer Networks Third Edition which brought me to
his homepage to download a protocol simulator and thats when I found out
about Minix.  Anyway, I have been trying to install networking for the past
couple of days and am having a hard time.  I have searching the web high and
low and the only driver I have been able to find is for the 3com 3C503b, I
had the standard one that comes with Minix 2.0 working briefly (very
briefly) using a Intel EtherExpress 16 ISA but then it just stopped when I
was tweeking other things trying to get it assigned a proper IP etc......I
haven't been able to get anything going  networking wise since.  I have
changed the settings to different IO addy's, IRQ with no luck.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction?  I also have tried on a different machine
with various flavors of network cards (ISA and PCI).  I am very green to
UNIX period so maybe I am not compiling right or something but like I said I
did have it quasi working for a short while.  I am becoming a pro on basic
installation however.

Please reply,

Jerry Elkins
