SUMMARY
If you accept the default configuration when installing the NE2000 network interface card (NIC), the installation fails.



CAUSE
The NE2000 driver defaults to a base I/0 address of 280h, whereas the NIC itself defaults to base I/O address 300h.



WORKAROUND
When you install the NE2000 driver, change the base I/O address to 300h. If you want to use a base I/O address other than 300h, you must run the diagnostics utility that came with the NE2000 NIC to change its setting.
