-----------
Possibly the "bug" inherent in older Asante cards. They have serious
problems connecting through an "auto-sensing" switch. I have gotten
around this by using a plain "hub" for connection to a router. Others
have gotten them to work by configuring them manually - assigning a
permanent IP address.
