We really have been talking at cross purposes. YOU have been talking about the PCMCIA chipset in your laptop. I was referring to Cardbus capable PCMCIA ethernet cards. I misread your description of the chipset as referring to the card's chipset. A quick browse through the Nicpak listing at os2warp.be does not turn up any references to 'Token Ring'. Your token ring card may be Cardbus, but I would doubt it. In that case: yes, you will need socket services installed to make use of the card, presuming that there is a driver for it. I suggest you go to os2warp.be. There are links to various socket services programs/drivers and also links to other useful stuff. Geoff
