I'm thinking about trying that next.  I just hate to bust the sides off 
both rigs.  It would be my luck I would do something to break them 
both.  o_O

I'm not sure it is the nic tho.  It downloads just fine when emerge is 
fetching files.  I'm not saying it isn't tho.  I really don't know what 
it is.  I'm also keeping in mind that the nic is built onto my mobo.  I 
have never had good luck with a built in nic.  On my old rig, it never 
worked right.  That's why it has cards in it too.

It's on the todo list of things to try.  Just getting my nerve up.
