The fact that Ethernet shows up in the Network control panel means that the driver is finding a card it recognizes. The Apple LC Ethernet driver seems to work with all LC Ethernet cards. The light on the card being on is a good sign. What about the connection at the other end? If it's a hug is the link light on at that end? If it is not on at that end then that's the problem. The only other issue is that SOME early LC Ethernet cards don't work with later models (later than the LC & LC II). The one I encountered would seem okay until you tried to actually transfer something. Then the system would hang. I've only encountered this with an Asante card (IIRC) but it's possible it applies to other brands. Check the manf web site (Apple) to see what models the card is recommended for. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
