Are there any 3com experts out there?  We desperately need
help.

We are trying to run a small ethernet network (for now 1
server 2 clients) using a 3com 3c505 on an Zenith-248 AT
and 3com 3c501 boards on clients.  We are using 3com
software (e.g., 3share).

Recently the hard drive on our server died.  Now we are
unable to get the 3-com sofware running again.  When we
restore from backup, we get the message "software not
registered properly".  When we try to install from the
original disks, we find we have to deinstall first, and get
the message "This diskette was not installed using the
etherlink card present in this pc. Error[123]"

This is very mysterious to me, since we are using the exact
same 3com boards and diskettes as originally.  It seems that
the software wants to see the old disk drive (which has
completely died).

Does anyone out there have any idea what the problem is?
Does anyone from 3com read this group?

Please, please, send any suggestions to me by email.
If this is an inappropriate place to post this inquiry, let
me know and accept my apologies in advance.
