It's really just simple problem solving. Start basic and work your way up. i.e. if your network interface appears to stop working, first check that the driver is loaded, if so check to make sure you have lights both on the switch then on the nic, then try replacing the cable with a known good cable, try diff ports, try diff nics etc etc etc. -- Ben Lutgens | http://people.sistina.com/~blutgens/ System Administrator | http://www.sistina.com/ Sistina Software Inc. | "I got a wife and kids too but you don't see me out here stealing Imperial Droids now do ya?" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
