Ethernet card is apparently fried, I guess it was just warning me that it was about to die big-time... Problem is this is a Dell 2350 with the BCM4401 on the motherboard. Theoretically shouldn't I be able to buy another card and just use it? Thanks again for the suggestions, they were spot on! -Curt Stauffer --On Friday, January 23, 2004 12:22 PM +1000 Scott Burns <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Has the physical cable changed, or any hardware changed in any way?
