Make sure you’re using the correct drivers.

Make sure you’re using the drivers that come with this adapter. The driver filename contains the letter B (for example, E100BODI.DOS). Drivers that support previous versions of the EtherExpress PRO/100 PCI adapter do not support this version of the adapter.

Make sure the hub port and the adapter have the same duplex setting.

If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the hub port is also configured for full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance, cause data loss, or result in lost connections.

Test the adapter by running Intel diagnostics. For DOS or Windows 3.1 computers, run Setup on the Intel Drivers and Configuration disk. For Windows NT and Windows 95 run Intel PROSet by double-clicking the Intel PROSet Icon in the Control Panel. Click Help from the main PROSet window to get complete diagnostics information and instructions.
