Thanks to your guys' help I was able to successfully resuscitate this old machine and I have it fully working. Next on the agenda: networking.
I have installed an Etherlink III card and according to the diagnostics that come on the disk it passes all its self-tests with flying colors. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to actually get it to do anything on my network, like sharing files or getting an IP address. I have tried all the things on here:

And no combination of softwares seems to work. I've also tried Win311FW as well and for some reason it was absolutely sluggish beyond belief (literally 20-30x slower than with networking not enabled) and I still couldn't figure out how to get networking to work.
Can somebody get me a quick cheat sheet on how to get this thing talking to my home network so I can share files with it? I am a developer and I know how to set up Samba, etc, so I don't need my hand held, just a basic outline of the steps needed to get this thing on the network. Thanks!
