It seems logical to try something completely different: 3Com, Intel, SMC... I think the same at the begining of this thread. I decided not to buy another card, i just …

Is your RTC functional and not too terrible? ie losing time drastically.. remember some DHCP lease problems in machines with whacky clocks. The RTC battery and date its just fine Probably not the same but dionb is also having issues with DHCP.exe working: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46 …

And I already tested sound card to work with this PC. If you're confident the sound card fully works, it would be a good idea to try the NIC in the same slot, with the same I/O and IRQ - most likely 220h and 5. That would pretty much rule out problems like bad contact on certain signals... Still …

My preferred settings for 16-bit ISA NICs are: I/O 300h IRQ 10 IRQ 5 is the default for most sound cards, better not to use it for a NIC. Yep I know , but now I'm operating in "i don't care, i just want this f!@#$%^ thing to work" mode. And I already tested sound card to work with this PC. I just …

If you have COM2 enabled then IRQ3 will be shared with the NIC if you set it at IRQ3...... https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=192249&mode=view Try disabling COM2 or move the NIC to an un-used IRQ..... I turn off the COM1, COM2 and LPT1 - no effect I switch IRQ to 5 in card utility - no …

Does it have any way to set ISA bus speed? If it's on a cpuclk/3 setting it might be too fast. edit: nevermind, looks like you must have a DX2-50 as only 25 and 33 bus speeds listed. If it doesn't work on 25Mhz setting it's likely not a speed problem.... unless it's set at clk/8 and wayyyy too slow …

Since (what I understand) this motherboard uses a riser slot for the two ISA cards, there could be some issues with poor/bent connections on the riser board itself? At the meantime I've got similar idea. I put off the riser. It looks super clean, like brand new . I spray some ipa on the slot (and …

My RTL8019 can work in 3 modes (similarly to this one: https://github.com/Manawyrm/ISA8019 ): 1) Jumper 2) Jumperless (eprom) 3) PNP What about yours ? Did you try to play with RSET8019.EXE dos utility (available from link above) ? Maybe there is resource (I/O, memory, IRQ) conflict ? I have tried …

I got Goldstar 386 PC and I try to make it fully working. He has external lithium 3.6v CMOS battery attached to pc case (Tadiran TL-5242). Of course is dead, but hand't leaked since 1991.
