What OS are you using? When I was using XP, it worked for a while right after I installed the OS, but then craped out on me... at the same time networking with 98 computers died too(I have no 2000 or NT machines to know it any networking ability existed there). There must be an issue with XP networking... I reinstalled it multiple times, and it would always die on me, and I couldn't post. It was really annoying when having networking parties.. we were limited to IPX games... (Gotta love Starcraft!) Now I am back to 98.
