I recently had an experience that may or may not make a difference in this situation. I have a 7300 with a 450G3 upgrade card. I installed a MacAlly combo Firewire/USB card. Everytime I plugged in a USB device I would loose my internet connection through my built in ethernet connection. When I unplugged the USB device I needed to reboot to activate my ethernet. Maybe something similar is happening in this case?? Chris Has she tried a different cable? It might be a flaky cable from the ethernet port on the computer to the cable modem. STeve << I have a friend with road runner that is having a connectivity problem (triad.rr.com) using OS 8.6 on a 7500 w/G3 upgrade Will the ethernet connection act like that? Work for weeks and months and then not work for a few days? Then work again then stop and then work again? Anyone seen anything like this before? Could the ethernet system in the 7500 be slowly going bad or do you RR is trying to just deflect the blame? wouldn't the ethernet just quite and not work any more. She went through all the normal things with RR's phone tech people, even getting past the lower level helpers and to a tier 3 tech support person...... with them insisting it's the ethernet card. >>
