For some reason on NOVEL NE1000 & NE2000's you can only use ints between 2 & 
5 so it's limited me to using INT 5 ;)
INT 0 is System Timer
INT 1 is Keyboard
INT 2 is Cascade -> INT 9
INT 3 is COM2
INT 4 is Mouse
INT 5 NOW Network Card
Don't suppose you know what INT 2 is actually used for ???

Or the fact that I was being a mupped that after being told that they were 
NE2000's thats what I was trying to configure, just out of curiosity I tried 
using the adapter and settings for a NE1000 and it worked :))

Yea using Novell Netware, OS/2, Windows 95, Win 3.1 & 11Windows NT, it's just
the addressing (IP and Ethernet) and connection using other that the software 
supplied with the cards ;)
