I'm sorry, I should have expressed myself a bit clearer here.

I meant:

a) Use the ethernet cable to perform your synchs "after installing a nic into my computer"

I've installed a 3com nic in my computer and got a crosscable to connect it to Empeg. I've had a look at earlier questions about setting up an ethernet connection and that worked fine for me.
I agree with the statement that USB should work, but for some reason it doesn't on my computer (I think the problem is hardware related, I've had USB problems before with an USB ISDN adaptor, and yes, I've got the latest bios).

Anyway, the connection to Empeg is stable now, and that's what counts!
