another good guess. and nothing wrong with it either.

but, before any answers are presented, clarification should be made.


so, to op, Timothy Murphy,

do you wish to know;

 1- what determines mapping of nic [network interface card/chipset] to an
  ip address?

 2- what determines mapping of nic [network interface card/chipset] to an
  ethx position?

 3- what determines order of mapping of nic [network interface card/chipset]
  to an ip address?

 4- what determines order of mapping of nic [network interface card/chipset]
  to an ethx position?

 5- none of above?


which ever it is,

is a  good read.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
