Ric Disabling the on-board ethernet and at the same time moving the card to the second free PCI slot did nothing (except lose all ethernet). Re-enabling the on-board ethernet and restoring the FA311 to its original slot brought both into action, so I now have two correctly functioning ethernet ports. Jonathan
