Nope ... as this machine is connected directly to the UTP-socket in the
wall .. which is connected to an HP-switch which is hidden in a locked 19"
rackmount (without a looking glass).

As far as i can remember leaving the system powered down for a longer
period of time indeed seems to make the connection work properly again for
a (little) while ... at least a short power-down to give everything a
chance to reinitialize hardly ever seems to be working.

Well .. it's not my own system which is having these problems but of a
friend of mine ... I'll check this information with him today and have a
talk with the place that sold us this card.
Thank you very much for providing this insight ...
