One or two months ago, it happened same to me, and it was a card failure, I mean, network card was wrong. It was attached to a Compaq computer, I put another card (same model) and it was fine. Check if card is well pluged to computer, otherwise I think you have to ask for another one. -- ------------------------------------------------------ José Manuel Pérez - Hispavista::Sistemas P.
