Thanks Donato-

That sound like an ideal solution.. not to mention that it only 'updates' my older style motherboard as well.

I did some digging in the meantime, and I did discover that there is a place in v1.01 software to assign an IP, a mask, and gateway. I did not realize it was there, I only used the IP section from the very first screen where it asks you your connection type.

I still tried to set up IP to work and got the same result. Yeah well, I guess I was just not meant to use the program with ethernet. I didn't want to use it anyway.. sour grapes!

I guess CompUSA will be getting a couple more bucks from me for a USB port tomorrow.
