What's the Motherboard that you're running on?=20 My ABIT AB9 QuadGT's ethernet support has failed, in fact it did it months ago. I've been limping along with a Firewire 400 ethernet connection to another server (with an EVGA 790i Ultra SLI that doesn't support the RR2320). I can't afford to power two computers all day long just to keep my large RAID available on the net for my customers' needs. Any leads you can provide would be helpful. The AB9 board is no longer available from any vendor anywhere near my purchase price 2 years ago ($150) and that would be an acceptable solution. If I can find 2 of them to build my new 12TB (8x2TB RAID 5) system that would be wonderful.

Surely a short term solution would be to get a PCI nic for your existing system.=20 Regards Graeme
