I can can NOT change it. The address changes, only when I plug my card
into different slot. I can only play with enabling/disabling half duplex
and so on, but I doesn't help my problem.

The problem is that I have no extra cards. I have only Video adapter,
modem, and TV card. Tv card doesn't use IRQ. Never mind, I removed them
but it did not help.

No, I have been using U*nix clnes - FreeBSD / Linux for alsmost ten

Thank you for answering, Igal.
P.S on the box is written NE2000 software compatible. Might it be that it is
NOT NE2000 Hardware compatible ?
