I need help with the initial hardware setup of 
                Lantastic. If this is not the place to ask, 
                please let me know. 
I have my two original Ethernet cards marked Artisoft AE-2(c) 
1991. I used them previously to hook my Compaq 286 and IPC 386 
portables using an older version of Lantastic.
I have placed the cards into my 486/66 and my new K6 computers 
and hooked in the black coaxial cable.
I appear to have successfully installed the Lantastic6.0 software 
from disks 1&2 on the old 486.
When I power up the 486 i see the message "waiting for the K6 to 
come on line". I am familiar with that.
I power up the K6. It's an AMD-K6/233 with Award BIOS 4.51PG. The 
boot screen shows that the BIOS has recognised the 
Card-01: Creative SB AWE64 PnP
Detecting: Primary Master NEX DSE1700A (1.7G)
Detecting: Secondary Master Quantum Fireball (4.3G)
             and then the text cursor hangs at the Right-hand end of:
Found: CDROM NEC CD-ROM Drive:285
             for about sixty seconds, after which the machine 
fires up into Windows95 with no further ado, although I can no 
longer see the CDROM drive in W95 Explorer.
Attempting to add new hardware from the Control Panel brings me 
to a screen that suggests I place the W95 CDRom in drive F:, 
which does not exist now!
Attempting to add new hardware from the Control Panel can also 
bring me to a "Have Disk" screen that suggests I place the 
lantastic floppy diskette1 in drive A;. This I do, but W95 says 
that no suitable files are to be found there.
I have a sneaking suspicion that my problems are related to IRQs 
or other hexadecimal-horribles.
I'd appreciate any guidance in getting over this hump. Thanks in 
advance for any hints, suggestions or tips.
