The Realtek cards are going back to the supplier.
3Comm cards are on there way...:-)
It is not so much the $$$$ but the time wasted with inferior cards with imprecise specs on what they will and won't work with.

81807 2002-09-23 20:51:00 I had an exact same problem with my Thinkpad which uses a Xircom NIC.

It was fine when I originally got it but stopped after installing SP2 - actually it was after installing the driver update that was part of the Windows update system. Uninstalling the driver and installing an earlier driver got me back in business.
