a few possibilites here -- best to leave your nic on PnP if your utility
shows that.

> My NC is a LAN-32PCIR PCI Ethernet Adapter, with no switches on the card.

PnP or soft-set, if there are no jumpers whatsoever on the card.
Most are that way now.

> Can someone please tell me how i can change the adress???

don't know that card.

some must be soft-set with a special utility, included with the nic new,
also often download-able often from company site if you dno't have the
etherdisk for the nic.

some are PnP only and can't be set, 3com is like that.

Some are both, meaning the soft-set utility will let you set it for PnP or
set it to fixed values which you would then set in the OS, Device Manger in
win95.

Also see if there are any Unknown devices in Device Manager -- sometimes a
PnP card goes there, and it will never work until you remove it from Device
Manager. But that would at least mean it spoke to the OS in PnP.

Also a conflict sometimes 'covers' a PnP device so that it doesn't announce
itself until you disable what it is conflicting with.
You would have to hack around on that.
