Hi,
We had a small crop of 3c509Bs which did something
similar. They claimed they were BNC when there was
only a 10BaseT connector on them. Perhaps 3 out of
10 in the batch we bought one time were like this.
Try a different card from a different source if possible.
Also try running the no Plug-n-Spay option to the dos
config software.
Hope this helps.
Seth
