Finally an answer that makes sense for a problem I have had with my 540c (I have the Asante adapter too). My work around involved connecting to the router with another computer first (apparently this stepped down speed) then I could connect with the 540... I had been told it was a speed issue, but everyone was pointing at the router saying it couldn't recognize T/100. However, the computer I would connect with first was also T/100, so I couldn't figure it out. Sounds like an issue with Asante adapters... -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
