Trouble Shooting A PCI Card

[Wm Mark Clifford <mclifford@s1.drc.com>]

I bought a "PCI" card and it does not work in my machine.  (A (nameless)
3 PCI / 4 ISA motherboard that only refers to itself as "vendor" using
Award BIOS)

This happens to be a PCI Network Interface Card from Realtec in Taiwan. 
(Realtek at www.realtek.com.tw has been "slow" to respond to some of my
questions but I understand it may be a language thing.)

Since I am new to PCI I need to understand how PCI compares to ISA.  My
specific request is to know the following:  The PnP Motherboard and
Realtek PCI-NIC combination assigned an address of 6000H.  This is not
an address assignment I am comfortable with since I am use to something
in higher memory.  I see no way to influence the assignment.

My question to this group is, I've seen the Intel 12 slide show plugging
the virtues of PCI but it has no details and I don't think I should
spend $50 for the entire Spec to trouble shoot a $32 card.  Where is the
middle ground?  How do I find out if 6000H is a perfectly fine address
for a PCI card?  (Although EMM386 complained when the Realtec software
tried to exclude it.)  (I am trying to use both Win 3.11 and Win NT
3.51.  Win 3.11 has been no luck and Win NT looks like it works - I can
ping my address but get no response when I ping another address and
NetBEUI can't browse anything.)

Please also respond to me directly mclifford@s1.drc.com as I have not
joined the maillist (yet!)
