Thanks, Tom - unfortunately, the motherboard I have available only has a PCI Express slot (no PCI slots). I know Startech has a PCIe to PCI adapter for $40, but then I would still need to buy a suitable PCI network card. I don't really want to invest that much in this project. I've looked at a lot of PCIe network cards, but haven't found one that supports DOS type drivers.
At present, I'm still fooling around with the onboard Realtek 8111/8168B network adapter. It has me baffled. The NDIS driver and associated files load ok on boot with no errors, but every network program I try to run times out with no connection. I know the hardware is ok, because I booted to Linux on a USB stick and the network works just fine.
