Is this with the 2.0 3Com drivers? What settings is the card using?
I never got a 3CCFE575BT (where do they get these model numbers?!) to work
under NT on either a TP600 or a 760E. I did get an older 3C575-TX to work on
both machines, but only if I used the 1.1 3Com drivers, not the 2.0. Finally
gave up and put Xircom cards in both machines.

Hotswapping the network card, maybe more. Without it, you have to shut down
NT to insert or remove the network card.
Myself, I'd hate to lose that capability. I hardly ever reboot NT, but I
frequently remove the network card. The IBM-supplied CardWizard has always
worked perfectly on my TP600 for that.
