Are you using a fixed IP configuration or DHCP to get an address? Also, which speed is your link? I have a similar PowerBook6,8 system, and have noticed it takes a significant while (i.e. 10 seconds or more) after the interface is brought up, for a link to be obtained. I have not noticed loss of link, though (at 100baseTX FD), but I have not used this system in a while... maybe it's time for more investigation. Miod
