I don't know what brand nic you have but I ran into similar problems with a 3Com 3C509B (think thats the model). I finally had to scrap it and get something different. I think some of the older cards are no longer supported. This may be whats happening with your card. -- Thomas E. Dukes <edukes@xxxxxxxxxx>
