Argh. RealTek. That might be your problem. My mobo has a realtek on it and it never works right. I went and found a 3com 905c. I just checked google shopping and you can still find them for about $20. It's a shame that all the mobos bundle such cheap crap. Unfortunately, the bundling has killed the market for add-on NICs. So when the mobo ethernet is too sorry work, you are left with nothing. -- Johan KULLSTAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
