Try another card from another manufacture, but with the same chipset, if it still wont work, then try disabling DHCP (DHCP is satans work, if you ask me) and see if it helps. Remember to disable DHCP in your router as well. I use all static IP's on my LAN and all is working like a charm allways. Many friends tend to use DHCP but they all have problems once in a while. I don't see the trick using dynamic IP's through DHCP, when it's not nessecary (and when is it that?) Third... if it aint working still... try another PCI-bus. You might have a conflict. I had that problem once. I moved the card, and all was a bliss. -- Martin L. Johansen Carpe Aptenodytes! (Seize the Penguins!) Spam will be forwared to /dev/null ...
