Thanks to all who advised on this. I will try to fix it manually first - look at the pins, see if I can do anything. I am fairly certain that the soldered connections, motherboard connections, etc, are OK - this is a problem right at the connector itself. If that fails, the easiest way to do it is through a hardware Ethernet/localtalk bridge, assuming I can find one cheaply. I'll need a hub, I think - the computer is already on an Ethernet network, so the line coming from the remote main switch needs to be split to go both to the bridge and the computer. I wonder if I could do it by putting a second Ethernet card in the 8600 instead of using a hub. But first, I am going on a long-awaited week-long vacation starting Saturday, so all this will have to wait until November 5, when I get back. Thanks for the help. Kim
