Anyone have any pointers or experience?
I'm not hugely familiar with how ADSL works. You use the ethernet card to
access the ADSL modem, similar to cable? If so, does the modem have any
status lights of any kind? Are you able to ping your gateway? Do you
know for sure that the ethernet card is working? (If you have any other
systems available to you, could you see if you can ping systems on your LAN?)

yes , I used the ISA because I wanted to keep my PCIs
I know that the card works because it works under NT and 98.
How do I find out the physical address of my card? The numbers that I had set
up for a static account under NT and 98 don't work either

I couldn't use DHCP with my adsl connection for some reason. DHCP does
work under Windows 98.
In BeOS I had to manually enter the IP address (that's the local
address of the card, in my case 192.168.*), gateway address (address
of the adsl modem), and subnet (255.255.255.0). Once these were
entered, DNS addresses entered, etc the network restarted fine.

Under Windows 98 you can run 'winipcfg'. Select the network card you
want the address for in the drop down list. The IP Address, Subnet
mask and default gateway shown in the results is what I put in the
BeOS configuration for the network card to get my ADSL working.
