My two cents: Have you tried booting up from a CD (even a OS 9 CD), just to see if that resolves the problem? Or perhaps using a clean install on a separate HD or partition? The logic is trying to isolate the problem. Maybe something got corrupt? If it happens on a clean install, then it's probably a hardware problem. -- Christopher Guth Art Director/Interactive Designer www.guthmultimedia.com ---------------------------------------- >> I have a DP 1.25ghz MDD and am having ethernet problems.
