Not yet. First thing I did was hook one NIC to the Switch. Why? Cause I just wanted to SSH into it or something. See if I can just play with it. I'm on a LAN here, and my g/f would kill me if she has no Internet connection. *Shrugs* So.......... I must play with the box first, figure out how it works. I don't know if this is even possible yet. The second card, if it IS defective I shall pitch *Like i did a P/S this last 2 weeks*. Ty Mark.--- Femme
