Thanks for the response Raymond, I considered that, but the network card works fine when I boot the machine to Windows. That leads me to another thought. The last time in Windows I did an "upgrade" of the Yahoo Messenger. Is it possible that the "upgrade" hosed the network card so that it causes the error I'm getting? Any thoughts appreciated.
