I have, twice. Both times it was a Linksys switch, too. Just suddenly, no network. After the second one, I decided to switch (har) to a Netgear GS116. Haven't had any trouble with it so far (knocks on head), but I've only had it about a year. -- .O. | Sterling (Chip) Camden | http://camdensoftware.com ..O | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | http://chipsquips.com OOO | 2048R/D6DBAF91 | http://chipstips.com
