i use a switch and the above card connects to the switch ... which is connected to a router which is connected to the ISP .. so i don't think that the ISP should cause any problems ... i wanted to ask one thing though ... this machine is around 2-3 years old compaq presario ... does this mean that it might have some older version of the NIC which runs in half duplex mode ... this also should'nt be the case according to me Sharninder Singh National Institute Of Management Calcutta Building No. 117 Command Hospital Complex Alipore Kolkatta ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
