Hi Lewis!

All-inclusive? OK! Here we go...

I got a couple of questions to add to your list:
- How do I determine what network card I have?  (how to find out what 
chipset is used in a no-name card for example)
- My PCMCIA WLAN card is a cardbus card, what does that mean for my 
PCMCIA configuration?
- How do I install a network driver in MPTS?
- How do I bind protocols to a network card?
- The ARtem driver comes with a MSG file, where do I copy that?
- I once heard about a file called LANTRAN.LOG. Where do I find the file 
and does it contain information that can help me to determine possible 
causes for my network problems?
- Once a network card is installed, how do I make sure the driver 
recognizes the card an both play together?
- I installed the driver and inserted the card, but no lights on the 
card. What do I check and in what order?
- A sample configuration for one network card on one particular piece 
hardware. (Just to run through the steps required for setup and 
configuration)

I know that some questions are very broad. But I have run into 
situations where precise answers to such questions would have saved me a 
lot of typing and testing!

I guess I can contribute some answers as well! Lewis, what format do you 
want and can I somehow include screen shots as well?

Regards,

Robert
