Hi folks.
I've seen this kind of thing before. When possible, the best approach has
seemed to be to use the DOS utility to set the 3COM card such that it is
_not_ in plug 'n pray mode. Then, force Win '95 to accept a static
declaration of the hardware address, interupt, etc. (Note that Windoze
often does not want to do this.)
If your card is not presently in plug 'n pray mode, then I have no useful
suggestion at this time.
