3C529-TP w/SB4100 Cable Modem

Works just fine under NT 4. Using the included 3com Etherlink III MCA adapter drivers from the NT install CD. Just run a TP cable from the 3C529-TP to the SB4100 and voila, cable modem speeds.

All I installed was TCP/IP, and of course, ZoneAlarm. You will need SP3 or greater for the updated network files (LDSYS?)

I installed the drivers from EtherDisk 6.1, and I am getting about 384/120 depending on where I'm surfing to.

Windows Support

The 3C529 Micro Channel NICs are partially supported. In Windows 95 and Windows NT, the NIC driver can be installed and removed, but the windows diagnostic program and tray icon are not loaded. To make configuration changes or test a 3C529, use the DOS diagnostic on diskette #2.
