You may very well be right. But I am trying many sites, some where it is way into the night. I think there is an issue with this 3com card driver. I also think there is something with the MTU rate. I am on an ethernet network and the suggested rate (according to such experts as webopedia.internet.com) is 1500 byte blocks. In the option area the default is 20 512k sized blocks (or 10240byte blocks). I necked it down to 3 512k blocks. When I first tried this I had a 2.2.8 setup disk in the machine and it logged me in slick as hell. So I turned it off and stuck in my 3.0 boot disk. Mistake. Now nothing is working, again.
