I just did a hardware/software profile of my machine with Belarc
Advisor, and here's what it says under "communications":

==========================================
Generic SoftK56 [Modem]
SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Network Card MAC Address: [snipped]
Network IP Address: [snipped]
==========================================

I don't know if that "Sis 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" is
internal, or if that's my external cable modem.

I'll have to look into this.  Thanks for trying! :-)

I am a little frustrated, but I'm sure there is something obvious I'm
just missing (something missing in my brain, no doubt). I'll keep
trying to figure this out. I just wish I new exactly what it is that
I'm learning! :-)

Thanks again!
