Yes, I know exactly what your saying with regard to NE2000. My answer was a work-around from NE2000 and to registering a driver specific to that Xircom card; because, as your finding out, NE2000 compatible cards do not always get recognized. If you want NE2000 for fix/clone, its off to the registry.

In the PPC Registry keys you will find the entries;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE2000]

And,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE20001]

There will be no parameters for the first entry (2000), the current parameters will be found in the second entry (20001). So, Export the key;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE20001]

and edit with PNOTEPAD by changing ALL occurrences of NE20001 to NE20002; and then import the key back into the registry. This generates now a third NE2000 registry entry.

Now, edit the "Display Names" so that one says, NE2000 Auto Assign and the other to say NE20002; then configure the later accordingly. Here, you already have the parameters for the card under another WM03 system. Use those to tediously configure the new NE20002 folder.


Next, you need to configure the Xircom card as the one wanted for selection. Go to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE2000\Linkage]


Under "Route" which entry is: NE20001; change this entry to NE20002.

With the above, all you really have done is adopted the parameters of the a WM03 folder and created them in a new WM05 folder without altering WM05's standard parameters for NE2000.
