I see from your signature that you've got an accelerator.

Not all are PCMCIA friendly, which one do you have and have you tried without it?

Kinda obvious question, but needs asking. Which chip is in your network card, and have you checked that it's supported with the sana2 driver you want to use?

I made this guide many years ago, but it might help you out on getting your Amiga online.

Which 3Com card is it? You need a 3C589 variant for it to work with your A1200.

I am also off line being this way for some time now, but I am not to bothered about it now, as I can spend more time out of forums and get on with more important things.

What card are you using?
What's in your user-startup/startup-sequence?
What accelerator are you using?
What TCP stack are you using?

Only the DE-660+ is a PCMCIA card (the rest are CardBus cards: you can tell by the copper strip on the connector). The DE-660+ might work with cnet.device.
