UNNNGH!!!! IBM Ethernet PCMCIA & Linksys, Win NT & 95...what gives?



Hi all! Here's what I have followed my my problem. Anyone who can help gets
a virtual pat on the back =)!

System 1:

IBM Thinkpad 750C (486SL/33) w/ 36 Mb RAM
Dock II
IBM Ethernet PCMCIA (10BaseT) in socket 3 (docking station PCMCIA socket)
  [IRQ 15, Memory Base Address 0xD4000, I/O Port Address 0x300]
Windows NT 4.0

System 2:

IBM Aptiva M61 (Pentium/120) w/ 8 Mb RAM
Linksys Ether16 LAN Card [IRQ 9, I/O 330H]
Windows 95 w/ Service Pack I Update

Hub:

Linksys 5-Port Workgroup Hub




Problem:

I can see the NT machine and the 95 machine from each machine. However, when
I try to copy files between the two machines, the file copy will start then
"stall". The networking status lights on the hub show that activity is
occuring for a while, then hanging. Windows 95 locks up when I try to copy
files to the NT machine and vice-versa. NT will abort atfer a while, saying
"the operation failed due to an application request or broken thread." Does
anyone here have any advice? Is Linksys reliable? I know that the IBM card
worked before, at least when I was using it w/ Novell 2 years ago. I just
bought the Linksys card system. This IBM card is a 10Mbps card, right (The
Linksys card and hub are 10Mbps, I believe.)?

If ayone can give me any advice, I'd be grateful. I've reinstalled Winbloze
95 on both machines (including the NT machine), and I'm still having
networking problems (hence, it's probably not NT).
