So as I gather - It was Working at the office lan, died upon power up at home. Not unusual, but not a normal failure situation. would have suspected that it was worked out of the MB slot first and needed to be reseated. Of course, if you had all your machines disconnected from the cable modem connection for an extended time period, it could also be that the ARP table entries for the single? IP address you were using finally expired and flushed from their tables the IP address/MAC address of the working machine and it is just coincidence that a new interface card now works sinc ethe new MAC/IP address combo is in their ARP tables..... I'd test that card in another machine (not on your cable modem connection) before tossing it. The manufacturer might have dos floppy based diagnostics for downloading. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
