I will try this, but my diagnostic program (DOS 906setup.zip) already gave 
me the address and IRQ and tho things appear to be working (ifconfig eth0 
192.168.1.1 followed by route gives a line with eth0 in it) I cannot send 
packages via ping in either direction.

Is this a sign of a dead card, or might I be doing something wrong?

I have one other ne2000 ISA card to try next, the 3com etherlink III.
I have DOS diagnostic software for this to determine if it is dead.
