OK, likely reliable info. Just which card is it ?

Yeah, not that uncommon with PnP.

Try deleting it and installing it by having Win9x scan for new hardware. It does
a pretty good job with quite a few NICs and may well solve your problem.

Delete the NIC from the device manager. Turn the system off and
remove the NIC. Reboot right thru into Win9x with the NIC missing.

Turn it off, install the NIC again. It may or may not be auto identified
at boot time, if it isnt tell Win9x to scan for new hardware.

OK, may show up as Realtek with Win9x scanning for new hardwar.

Worth trying without the disk, Win9x may do a rather better job by itself.
