That says the card died to me...

Try this card in the machine that has the 2nd identical card - uninstall the drivers for the card before swapping them otherwise xp will have a fit about a required device missing and will not install the one you want to test properly.

Alternatively boot with an me startup diskette and use msd.exe at the dos prompt to see if dos sees the card.

use msd.exe available here to get the mac address. instructions here
