Perhaps so. I get this (though the link usually does finally stay up) with both of the SMC cards that I have tried with my Linksys switch. On the other hand, my Linksys card always comes up on the first try with the Linksys switch. Unfortunately, it's also 25% slower than the SMC cards :-( Bob -- Bob Willcox Boucher's Observation: [EMAIL PROTECTED] He who blows his own horn always plays the music Austin, TX several octaves higher than originally written.
