Can any body explain to me what this means. Does it mean that the hardware is defective or it it because the driver is a Beta. If the hardware is defective what information is available about the problem so I can go back to my hardware vendor and/of 3COM to get fixed hardware. I'm not too confident of my news feed so if you could reply by mail I would appreciate it. -- Brian Beattie +1.503.690.1570 x6116 Dynamics Research Corporation 19545 NW Von Neumann Dr FAX 690.1569 Beaverton, OR 97006-6998 beattie@stt3.com "I am Pentium of the Borg.
