Can you be more specific in describing your problem?

Do you get an error message? Does the system stop responding during 
boot? How far into the boot does it get? What makes you think that an 
ethernet port is the problem?

For future reference, you might want to look at 
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html in order to help you ask more 
effective questions in future.

Thanks.

Andrew.
