Sometime the cards needs a 'jump start'. I've seen it where I start ping...it would fail and I would stop it after a few seconds. Start another ping, and it would fail. Start yet another ping, and after failing about 8 times, I would see some I/O errors, then the board would kick in, and for the rest of that session be OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Elite MicroComputers 908-541-4214 http://www.psychosis.com/emc/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
