For what it's worth, some time ago I installed a Kingston PCI ethernet card, and the software that came with it, into my PowerBase 180, and <knocks wood> have never had a problem with it. I chose the Kingston card simply because I found it on sale for a ridiculously low price.
Of course, if you think it's a system conflict, it rather depends on what System you are running. I'm running Mac OS 8.6, and have kept the installation of additional extensions to a reasonable and well-tested minimum. I assume you tried downloading the latest driver updates from Asante to see if that would help? Certainly, there are reasons to move on from using your old Power Tower, but something as basic as Ethernet shouldn't be one of them. Best of luck. - ZK At 15:12 +0000 08/26/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Greetings All, > >This is my first post and thanks for having me! > >I have a Power Computer Power Tower Pro 250. > >It seems the on-board Ethernet has gone out on it.
