I've been having problems since day1 with my FC1, even FC2. I use a e1000 with a Shuttle case, SS51G. I can't exactly say why it happens, but very commonly my e1000 looses its link to the Linksys Giga switch I have. Its absolutely random, and you can watch all the lights turn off, and eventually turn back on. Its extremly annoying. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
