Thanks for the help! The broadcom drivers I tried were v4.23, so I WILL give this newer set a try. After that tho, I'm afraid I'm going to have to move to another option.
I do realize that it's kind of alot to ask to have a fairly new system be compatible with NT4, but I'm working on upgrading our domain to a Server2003 domain rather than NT, and this was to be used as an interim "upgrade" domain controller. Was hoping to do this on a virgin box rather than a system that is already in use.
Again, thanks for the help, and I'll post with results.

I checked to see if there was an NT4 chipset driver for the Optiplex 160L, and didn't find one. Is the device enabled in the BIOS?

Jim,
The onboard nic is indeed enabled in the bios. I can ping loopback (127.0.0.1) but nothing else.

Is this the one you tried (win_nt-7.86.zip)?
Broadcom's FAQ makes it sound so easy...could have read that out of a script myself...
Unfortunately, I haven't found any definitive posts describing successful installation of NT 440x drivers.
