thanks but it didn't make a difference. I think I am going to buy another better model on Ebay which should let me know for sure if it is the device or my network. What this really needs is a hardware reset button in place of the software reset. I think if it had that I could get it working again.
BTW Greg, any opinion a ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131821 for my upcoming 4930k build?
