Hi Meryl,
If you suspect the problem, they why not load something like Knoppix and
see if that connects?
If it does then you know it is software, if not then it's a hardware fault.
May save you $$$ if you find it is just a software fix.
Thanks,
Ben Donohue

Hi all,
I suspect either my ethernet port has failed or perhaps it's the
networking chipset on my motherboard. I contacted HP who were useless
because
1. my notebook is just out of waranty and
2. I'm a 'naughty' Linux user (tisk, tisk!).
So can anyone recommend a reputable notebook repairer in Sydney /
/ Northern Beaches / Nth Shore area that could troubleshoot and fix my
problem. I'd rather not patch it up with a PCMCIA ethernet card if I can
avoid it.
cheers,
Meryl
