Thanks for the advice. I've gleaned the same from reading docs and other answers. After removing the 4-port card, rebooting, letting kudzu remove all settings, adding the card, rebooting and letting kudzu prompt me for all settings, things are in much better shape. It's been more work than I thought it would, but I'll likely accomplish my goal this afternoon (a little configuration left to do). > If I may OT, which dual- or quad-port Ethernet cards would > you recommend? I don't recommend any myself, as I'm doing much of this work for the first time. The person who built the machine, quite some time ago now, likes Intel's 2-port card and Adaptec's 4-port card, a newer version of the 4-port card that I mentioned in my original post. Craig
