Is the 8139too driver loaded? (You may have previously used the rtl8139 driver, which wouldn't exist anymore). Check that the network card the dsl modem is plugged into is in fact detected.</blockquote></div> Yes, the card is detected, I don't have any other computer to ping, but it's a very standard dmfe. I'll make a fe more checks about the network card when i log back into the system though. Thanks. -- Arnold
