It's possible, but I've tried 3 different 3c905C's between the two (top-most) slots I'm using for them, and they all have the same symptom, though never both at the same time. They also worked flawlessly before this latest install (though admittedly, the old install was 4.x, as mentioned). I suppose swapping in other card models and perhaps enabling the onboard EEPro 100 is next. Thanks. Brian J. Conway
