if you want internet via a standard ethernet network (like what windows machines ocnnect to) then you have to amke sure the AppleTalk isnt connectiung though the Ethernet by going to the AppleTalk control panel and either disableing AppleTalk or selecting it to a onborad Serial Port. in the TCP/IP control panel and set the conencton to the Ethernet then set it to DHCP or to manual and enter the information for conencting to your internet in manualy.

What the heck are you talking about? First of all, you can definitely run AppleTalk over ethernet and TCP/IP over ethernet simultaneously. Secondly, the OP's problem is that he doesn't have drivers for his ethernet PCI card... No amount of fiddling with the AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel will make the PCI card work without the correct drivers installed.

Peace,
