I suspect your problem is at a low-level (ie: cabling or hub/switch). The lights on ethernet cards typically do *NOT* rely on *ANY* software to light up...they are directly driven by hardware. If you do not have a link light, pretty much nothing related to the network is going to work. It's also important to check the link lights on *BOTH* ends of the cable. If the link light is on at one end but not the other, you probably have a bad cable. If both link lights are off, the cable could still be bad, but you should also look for the wrong cable flavor (ie: straight-through / crossover), make sure you've got the right cables plugged in, make sure everything has power, etc. You don't mention if you're using a switch, hub, or directly connecting your (one?) internal machine to the firewall. If you're connecting machines together directly (ie: no switch or hub), you have to have a special crossover cable to make this work...standard network cables will *NOT* work to directly connect two machines. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDeyGFLywbqEHdNFwRArqkAJ4h2j4PIsfesVaKb34XYlac5ZWvYgCfRmDL V6iw/IcQThbZ2+L9BB/E8qA= =tuq8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
