Thanks for the reply,
It's critical for me to get these cards working properly because we
ordered a bunch of them and put them into service. Ordering other more
expensive four port cards and RMA'ing all the D-Link cards that we have
as well as driving around to the different sites to install them is not
an option that I want to consider so if there's anything I can do to
help, by all means let me know.
