Hi All,

Trying to get Softwindows 95 to see the ethernet network that my  
venerable S900 is connected to but without success. Any ideas would  
be greatly appreciated!

The system - a Umax/Supermac S900 using the standard Umax/Apollo I/O  
card for ethernet. Running system 8.6 (Open Transport version 2.03)  
with a 500Mhz G3 card, 18gigs of Ultra-2 SCSI disk, and 848megs of  
built-in memory. The system is very stable and "sees" the network  
just fine (local boxes and the internet) from the Mac OS.

The application - Softwindows version 5.05 installed on a 500meg C:  
partition with 128megs of memory. The application itself runs fine  
but even after setting up network connectivity following the  
instructions in the Softwindows manual I get an error in the "System"  
control panel, "Device Manager" tab, "Network Adapter" device,  
"Insignia Solutions Ethernet Driver" driver. The error reads -   
"Device failure: Try changing the driver for this device. If that  
doesn't work see your hardware documentation. (Code 2)"

Many net searches later I've found a few relevant sources of  
information but nothing that solves the problem.

Thanks for any ideas, Doug
