I won't be able to experiment more till morning (it's 2am here). It'll be much easier to test the cable on a different computer than to test the computer on a different cable. Hopefully that'll be an effective test. Getting networks to work properly when they're not, almost seems like Voodoo to me... I've experienced in the past cables that work plugged in one way round, and not another. Cables that work when coiled up, but not when straight... you can probably even get cables that only work on certain days of the week! Grrr... you can tell I'm frustrated by this, can't you :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
