NIC problems in 8KHA+

[meaty]

I cannot get this 3Com EtherLink 10/100 3CR990-TX-97 to work in my system.
I have winXP & think it has something to do with that?
The system installs the NIC fine but crashes once I go to the net.
A blue screen then suddon reboot?
3 other nics I have tried work fine on this system?

Have you gone to their website for latest xp drivers, or checked to see if there are any issues reported with xp?

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be an XP driver, but you can always try the Windows 2000 one

ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3cr990/3cr99x1.exe

Here's the drivers page

Good luck
