[Duo2400] Re: 2400c problem/question

[J & HH]

Thanks, I really appreciate the info.  I thought about the ethernet option
and put an ethernet PC Card in one of the PC Card bays.  The computer
mounted the card on the desktop and when I click on the network icon that
was mounted it opens the TCP/IP control panel.  Tried to then network it
directly to my Pismo but didn't have any luck.  Then I tried to run it
through a hub using DHCP protocol but the computer was getting assigned an
IP from the hub like it should.  I'm thinking that maybe the ethernet PC
card needs a driver installed to enable it to communicate.

I toyed with the idea of removing the drive but since I'm on vacation I have
a limited supply of tools.  I'm fairly confident that I could manage it
although after looking at some pics on the web of the procedure I see that
it is considerably more involved than my Pismo which I have had totally
apart.  

Anyway, thanks a million for your advice.
