<cackles> Sorry, I feel ya! My stinking little PIII that I updated to
FC5 refuses to see the network card, isapnp doesn't seem to be doing
it's job and like you, it has to be some obscure setting some place in
there. My "big monster" computer can't see it although it's two feet
away plugged into the same huh. So, it's trouble shooting with a shotgun
time. I hate when that happens. Ric
