Your best bet is to get a different NIC and throw ne2k away 
(yes, I know, finding an ISA NIC may be hard these days).

If it's a jumpered card, you should have (may be able to find)
the fine manual. If not, you'll need the config utility (IIRC
ne2k's weren't pnp, even the ne2k+ that claimed to be, so 
fscking around with isapnp won't get you anywhere).

Either way, ne2k had a wide i/o port that overlapped with other 
devices' ports in most configurations (FVO "other devices" =
sound card, floppy, ide and parallel port). Configuring them
was a real PITA even if you had the manual and software.
