Does it work under NT? If you loaded NT the most common way which is let
the network autodetect than you'll have a problem with the ethernet.
Windows NT will not load the driver correctly.

What you have to do is delete everything in the network setup and reload the
driver off the CD. When it asks to autodetect say NO. Look at the list and
you'll see a listing for the DEC Multia, choose that and you'll be all set.

Cheers,
Steve
