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?

All my real hosts are Windows 7 .. all but one is 64 bit and all are kept
fully patched. The hardware network itself is entirely Gigabit = router,
adaptor, switches.
I guess my next step is to remove VMWARE and see if I have any change.
thanks
