Right now, I'm trying to figure something rather weird out with my 486 box, it seems there is a conflict between the network card and video memory, but I'm not quite sure how to resolve it.
The Symptoms to this issue are that when I try to access the internet from Windows For Workgroups 3.11 using IE4, or try to access my network files, the screen starts to show a big nasty mess of pixels for about the first 100 scanlines down, and sometimes will eventually hang the system. Funny thing is all is perfectly fine under Windows 95 OSR2, go figure (which I'm typing from at this moment).
System Specifications
ASUS 486 Socket 3 Motherboard with VLB
I 80486 DX4/100 CPU
48 MB of RAM
RealTek RTL8019 PnP LAN Adapter
Cirrus Logic CL GD-5429 Video Display Adapter, 1MB VRAM
