Thanks for pointing this out - there are a couple of newer drivers than the one I have.

At the moment, I have a problem with the SIS LAN port due to the presence of another LAN adapter which results in this error on bootup

PRO0030: Multiple adapters are trying to use the same interrupt level.  The request to bind VECTOR to SIS900_NIF cannot be completed.


Not sure how to specify interrupts for different NICs... perhaps I need to set the SLOT value for the SIS port...



  
      

This isn't neccessarily another LAN card, purely an interface using the same IRQ - could be anything. You basically have run out of available interupts.

I would recommend you go through CMOS and disable anything you don't need. Do you have a parrallel attached printer or is it USB connected ? If you don't need the parrallel port disable it as this can free off an IRQ (if so configured - parrallel ports can run "Irq-less"). what about serial ports - do you use a dial-up modem or a broadband (ethernet connected) modem. If you don't need the serial ports disable each of those - 2 more free IRQs. If you only have hardware connected to the first IDE or SATA controller, disable any controller that is not needed - again another free IRQ. and so on.
    

Actually, installing a newer driver sorted out the problem for me, so this machine is now directly accessible over the internet. All I need to do now is set up Samba and I should have my own OS/2 file server accessible from anywhere on the internet.
