It connected with the server, but cointinued to have problems with my network card. It's listed as an SMSC EPIC/100 83c170 when I boot up my current disto ( kernel 2.4.5 ). The message I get is this: eth0: Too much work at interupt, IntrStatus = 0x00250004 (only printed once) eth0: Too much work at interupt, IntrStatus = 0x00050004 (printed many times) I've got a Digital card that uses the 'tulip' driver that is laying around here so I'll try it out and see how it goes. -- Wes
