Ditto here never having trouble with D600. Just for sanity's sake, have you: - Tried a different ethernet cable? - Tried a different switched port, or whatever you are plugging in to? I'd say the easiest solution is to sweet-talk your friend into swapping hardware. You might also try the wireless, which works great once you set up NDIS. Also, please please please get off 5.2.1 ... cvsup, make world, etc, and get up to 5.4 or 5_RELENG or whatever STABLE is called these days. Cheers, -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/
