I've had this exact problem, turned out to be a bad card. It COULD be a bad PCI slot, but more often then not, it's a bad card. FYI: I've also seen those cards set their MAC address to all Fs when they go bad as well...really bazarr...that's happened to me several times (I've got about 800 PCs using them) Hope this helps, --Brian On Sat, 21 Aug 2004 01:10:32 -0600 (MDT), Chris Staskewicz <cjs@math.utah.edu> wrote: > I've searched the mailing archives for this problem (yeah, yeah, I know > these cards stink, but I'm going for gold anyway).
