Well here's the update... I went out and bought a 128MB CF card (Sandisk), loaded .90 and it appears to be working as I'm sending this over the wireless card on the wrap board through a hotel connection connected to the WAN port (all DHCP assigned) . So out of curiousity looked at the old CF card through the disk manager on XP, deleted the 24MB partition and attempted to re-write the .90 image onto the CF card. It appeared to write it with out incident. I dropped it into wrap board and it spewed errors and failed to boot.
Bottom line, it must have been the card. When I try to repartion the old card, it errors out on me. Thanks for everybody's help. I'm excited to use this in our production enviroments.
