Phillip,
Thanks for looking. I thought this too, I have already
tried another NIC Realtek & get the same response. Tried
swtiching the cables & ports on the switch to the working
laptop NIC to test, they were fine. I was even concerned
about the PCI slot in the motherboard and have tried
switching that around. This really has me stumped.
