I have new 3com card and drivers as listed on Victors site.
I followed his instructions.

I know I posted a really good answer to this question recently, but I can't find it for the life of me.

In a nutshell: If you want to connect two ethernet cards together directly, with nothing in between and no other computers on th network, get a crossover cable. Otherwise get yourself a hub.
