EIf the problem persists, and you’re on a 10BASE-T network, try patching directly into the hub. If the adapter works when plugged directly into the hub, but not when attached via a longer cable run, verify that the cable run length is within the IEEE 10BASE-T specification (100 meters). If the cable length is correct, the adapter may be defective. Contact Intel Customer Support.

Windows won’t load after installing adapter.

Try WIN /D:X. If windows loads this way, add the EMMExclude parameter in your SYSTEM.INI file under the [386ENH] sction to exclude the memory range used by the Intel adapter.

For example:

EMMEXCLUDE=D000-D3FF
