Try to figure out wether you have a Windows XP Driver for the onboard LAN. Then the NDIS Project (Project Evil) _could_ work. At least I think it could. Correct me If I'm wrong. The easiest way would probably be, taking a standard PCI based Ethernet NIC and off you go :) preferable Intel's Ethernet Express Pro ;) best regards, Marian
