Thanks, Dan. System Profiler and the Network system preferences will show the card if it's working. After installing Panther 10.3 and the PCI card driver, the ethernet card didn't show up in System Profiler PCI/AGP. After the update to 10.3.9 , it did. Still didn't work, though. No sign o

Realtek is perhaps the only manufacturer which has developed OS 9 drivers for its 10/100/1000 card. You have to dig really deeply to find those drivers, however. Fortunately, OHS supplied the OS 9 drivers for me. Anyway, the Realtek 8169 card is supported OOTB by MacOS from 10.2 on, so I

The only bad things about leaving your monitor in standby mode are:- 1) Your electricity costs will be a little higher. 2) With ANY electrical item left unattended in standby mode, there is a slightly increased risk of fire. Other than those two minor points, there shouldn't be any problems.
