Do you have the PCMCIA working?
Try the commands: man cardctl
and: man cardmgr
I had Vector on my old 233 MhZ 32 RAM and the PCMCIA was found automaticly
during install.
The XP box should be set to internet sharing or something like that, and of
course you need 2 ethernet cards in the XP box........
