Thanks Daniel :-) I took the leap of faith and pulled out the rl0, removed rl0 from my configs and all is well. Now to get my server a WiFi card (I will look for a supported card this time) The reason I got the OvisLink WL8000 was because I had seen support for OvisLink cards a few days before in the hardware notes, but when I purchased my card I had forgotten that it was normal ethernet cards. A big thanks to the people that developed ndis, I look forward to doing this all again with ndisgen when 6.0 is released.
