The PP is a dinosaur and you'll have nothing but trouble and poor performance, USB is better but it has lots of issues with noise and can be very flaky. Ethernet is rock solid and very reliable and fast.

The issue you are having now is not uncommon when using PCI PP cards and not all work, it's a little bit of a lottery with them from what I know.
My advice is don't waste time on it, bite the bullet and go with an Ethernet controller.

I second that.
I have only ever got perfectly successful running with Mach3 using WinXP sp3, which I have on retail disc from yesteryear.
Win7 wasn't reliable at all. Surprisingly, also fresh from a retail disc.
I've moved straight on to a uc300eth for the need of more I/O.

If it isn't working right, don't faff about. Ethernet all the way.
