nice to see you here again, Charles. Where you been keeping yourself? :-> I like your layout. Like the other guy said, though, I'm not sure a Windoze machine would bridge between these tow interfaces. Of course, I ould be wrong. It could also be that the integrated ethernet / wirelss card is broken for wahtever reason. Nothing would surprise me I put in a Linksys wireless network here at home, and put my wife and the kids on the wireless. My wife's laptop has a PCMCIA nic and a built in ethernet port. wonder if I could get her off the internet long enough to let me try a test or two. she's really loving being able to sit on the back deck and cruise. :-> don't be such a stranger, guy. > > > ""Christopher Dumais"" wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hi all, > > We are having an STP problem where we think a user with an integrated > > wireless and LAN NIC is creating a bridge loop and bringing down the > entire > > network.
