The Machine runs fine, most of the time, but every now and again my network card stops working for no reason. Rebooting the box fixes this for a while, but the it starts again. I've tried replacing the card, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. Any ideas? Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
