HOWEVER lol I now can't seem to get into X....It worked before I got my NIC working correctly and now when I startx it gets to the dark grey sceen where the pointer looks like an "X" and sits there. I'll play around with it some when I get back from my folks house but did you have that problem after you got your NIC working? Thanks again for ppinting me to your earlier conversation.
