Win98 hardware install problem

Hi,

I have

Compaq Presario 7480
AMD K6-2 550 mhz
Ram 183 SDRAM
3X IDE HDs 2X20GB and 1X30GB
Win98SE

I have a PCI net card (Netgear FA 311/321) installed, it is attached to my home LAN and is good for backing up data from my XP machine as well as surfing the net and simple tasks etc.

Recently I installed another PCI network adapter (Netgear GA302T) together with the original and suddenly neither card works on the LAN and both Firefox and IE crash when opened, or freeze the whole computer.

I updated drivers for both adapters (after uninstalling both) but still with the problem.

I have uninstalled the new adapter but this didn't fix the prob. either

I tried uninstalling both cards and reinstalled the original card only (including physically removing the newer card).

Still with the problem

Any ideas about where to from here?

Thanks in advance

Dins
