8 switches means just 256 total possibilities. You say you tried to brute-force it, but not getting anywhere. What approach did you use? Systematically going through all 256 should give you all possible results. If what you want isn't in there, it probably can't show that - but then the question is …

Are you using DHCP or static IP's? I'm using DHCP and if they don't get an IP while booting I have to manually run winipcfg and force them to pick up (or release) an address. You could always disable the unused card in device manager first forcing windows to use the only enabled card. Laptops did …

Extended partition type have some incomptibilities accross operating systems, best bet is just to make max 4 primary partitions, DOS, Win9x nd WinNT versions all see them, even if they do not understand how to read them. And if your extended partition is after 1024 Track boundary, more problems …

This is mostly normal behavior Win9x cant read NTFS partitions, which is why it comes up as unallocated. Likewise NT4 can't read Fat32 partitions. Dos/Win9x also struggles to understand more then 1 primary partition which I imagine could be causing issues as I would expect both your Win9x and 2k …
