Hi Mark, Thank you for your response. I noticed considerable slowdown when browsing the Internet. When looking at the connectivity (indicated by the lights on the modem) I found that it was going on and off. Juggling the cables slightly seemed to give a steady light on the modem but Internet browsing showed no improvement. As a matter of fact, mouse movement and the entire system became extremely slow and minutes later completely unresponsive. I couldn't open a terminal, so I rebooted the system. The problem appeared since. Now that you are asking about PCI, I noticed in the boot log the following lines: <6>PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfa174, last bus=1 <6>PCI: Using configuration type 1 <6>PCI: Probing PCI hardware <3>Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent <3>Unknown bridge resource 1: assuming transparent <3>Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent <6>PCI: Using IRQ router VIA [1106/0686] at 00:14.0 <6>PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 01:00.0 <6>PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 00:03.0 <6>PCI: Disabling Via external APIC routing and later <6>PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:04.0 <6>PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:14.5 <6>Redundant entry in serial pci_table.

Again, I thank you for your time and response.
