I had a few days time to sort this problem out, since my ISP was offline for almost
a week :-(

I went to a friends place which is also operating an Amiga4000 with an A2065 using
AmiTCP4.1. After looking at his card we found out that my A2065 card had a jumper
missing. It was labeled as 2 in a row of 8 (I think) - IPL2?. Placing a jumper in 
this position fixed the problem with this card.

The assumption of the card not being configured for IPL 2 was right!!!

Thanks to all
