Well, that is what I thought too, however, I am having problems with my network card. If I do an ifconfig, all RX packets are lost and the light on my hub flashes on and off which I have never seen before. The card is a LinkSys 10/100 card that I have not had problems with that class of cards in the past, though this is the first time I have tried this card. My first thought was try to change the IRQ. My problem is the sound card is on 11 and the video card is on 9. What about 5? -- Perry Hoekstra E-Commerce Architect Talent Software Services perry.hoekstra at talentemail.com
