Tom, I was on cooker the other day and a guy had the same problem with a realtek card, he's posted to bugzilla, and the current workaround is having fixed rather than dynamic ip. I am happy with that till bugzilla gets it's teeth into it. My card came with my cable connection. On a side note my cable company have screwed up and have given me a 1 mb pipe for the last week so far. Makes getting rc1 a whole lot easier, I had disk 1 & 2 before the 3rd disk hit the proxad ftp site. lol
Tony. ps All, apologies for return receipts on some posts, I use them for work and sometimes forget to turn them off for list posts. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Brinkman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 2:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] RC1 and network problem.

But, IIRC, there was quite a bit of discussion about some problem NICs. I believe realtek and 3com were involved.
