Have you tested against a different DHCP server? I know RR's DHCP servers have...issues sometimes. I have a static IP address with them that I let DHCP take care of for a while, but when their DHCP servers nose-dived one too many times, I just staticly assigned the address. So, I reckon it's the DHCP server, not your card/OS. Mike -- "Let the power of Ponch compel you!
