Ok, thanks for the help guys, but still nothing... I tried both suggestions (acpi=off, and all the same subnet) and neither worked.

I've heard that there's a problem with this particular kernel... is there any way to upgrade the kernel?

Thanks

Joe

Joe,

That was my other suggestion. Load DSL 2.1b which has kernel 2.4.31 compared to more recent versions of DSL which have 2.4.26. Alternatively, you could try DSL-N which has the 2.6 series of Kernels.

Regards,

Jonam

Gotta be hardware related. Get some cheap used $2 nic cards and replace 'em.

I think I'm gonna get DSL-N, and I'm fairly confident it's NOT a hardware issue, the card works. It's just not working properly under DSL. If Gentoo can make it work, I don't see why DSL shouldn't be able to.

Thanks, I'll let you know when there's news

Joe
