We'll return to ed@rutcom.demon.co.uk and All's
discussion of Boot Probe not seeing Ethernet card

 ed> I have tried the ne2k diagnostic from Don Becker's site  and that
 ed> reports the NE2000 correctly on IRQ 5 and 0x300 as set on the card.
 ed> Both of these cards work  fine when booted on the Win3.11 system on
 ed> the same machine
 ed> Any ideas ?

Try putting an ether= parameter in at the boot: prompt when LILO comes
up, and see if that works (look up LILO docs for the exact syntax).

... Flawed to perfection :-)
