This is still a work in progress and I need some help. Is this a problem with Lucid? I checked the wired ethernet port last night because I thought it might be having problems but it is good and this is a dualboot system, everything works in WindowsXP. I have tried ICS (network sharing) in WindowsXP and it doesn't work very well. ICS on Linux is very stable and fast, when it works. TIA, Clint </tt> </pre></div> </div> </div> </div>
