WOL connection on motherboard

[Rags]

Ihave a IBM personal computer 350. I want to install a network card but I cannot find the WOL on the motherboard, can anyone help

Not all motherboards have wol, (wake on lan). It is not necessary just an added feature that allows a remote machine to wake the machine over the network.

If you don't have it don't worry about it, the network card will work fine without it

I just installed my Nic on my IBM PC 350 and it was not working. I checked the System in Control Panel and I got this message " This device is disabled because the BIOS for the device did not give it an IRQ( Interrupt Request" code 29

What can I do?

That's a new one on me.

Try it in another slot

I tried hooking up my IBM pc 350 48mb, 1gb directly to my internet highspeed cable but it kept locking up.

My intention was to use this pc as a client, I installed a D- link card on my Hp 850mhz>128mb>30.0gb>which is already hooked up and working fine and the same D-link nic on this computer, I was connecting them with a crossover cable. but it kept locking up the ibm350.

I finally hooked up the Hp directly using the D-link and it worked I then switched the D-link nics, the hp worked the ibm pc 350 locked up,

Is it possible my pc 350 is not capable of hooking up to High Speed???

what os is on the ibm, if you never got rid of the error I doubt it will work. I never found an answer for that error code

Going to move to networking, maybe somebody else has an idea what's going on with your ibm.

Sorry Brian, the error was because the nic on the 350 was in conflict with my modem card, it had the same IRQ. I removed the Modem card on the computer and also physically from the computer. I then reinstalled the nic, and it installed properly, no errors this time.

I also forgot to mention that my pc 350 is 133mhz and has windows 98se on it.

You said "Going to move to networking, maybe somebody else has an idea what's going on with your ibm". What does that mean?? Isn't this networking?

Thanks for the response

irq's where my next stop. Glad it's working

I moved it to network from where you had originally posted it in hardware I believe, either that or I drank too much on new years, but I don't drink

I have a H Pavilion> 850mhz>128mb>30.0, Windows Me hooked up to my Intenet High Speed cable.

I want to check if I could also hook up my IBM pc 350, 133mxz, 1gb windows 98se directly to the modem. I removed the Hp off modem

When I do it it locks up my pc350, cursor won't move, I have changed the pc 350 comp id and workgroup to the same as the HP Pavilion

Any idea what could be wrong

Ps Brian f was supposed to move my original thread to networking from hardware but being a newbie I have no idea what he is talking abot

pls help

Get an inexpensive hub or switch and leave them both connected.

That is what I am trying to do.

Here is what I tried already:

I installed a d-link nic in my HP. It also has a Nic that my cable supplier installed, this is the nic that my Hp is directly hooked to my modem,so two nics on my HP. I have a d-link nic in my pc350. I connected them using a crossover cable and my pc 350 locked up.

I connected my Hp directly to my modem using the D-link nic it worked, I switched the D-link card from my pc350 to the HP it worked, which tells me all my nics are working.

I then tried hooking up my pc350 directly to the modem, it locked up, I was told to change the computer ID and Workgroup on my PC350 to same as HP, I did, it locked up

Any other suggestions??
