In the 24 hours it took for the server to add me to this list and post my message, I seem to have found a fix? I installed alsa to get the sound card working. I know it sounds strange. RH9 couldn't see my sound card, FC1 can, but could not activate it. Alsa was easy to install, configure, and get working. Now that my sound card is properly configured, the problem seems to have disappeared. Apparently, the unconfigured/improperly configured sound card was confusing the system in some way. I must admit that I don't understand why this fixed the problem, but it seems to have. For anyone else that this might pertain to. Both the NIC and sound card are integrated on the motherboard. The system indentifies the sound card as an Intel i810, 82801EB AC'97 audio controller. On Fri, 2003-11-28 at 14:52, Thomas A.
