trouble with mismatched network

I finally received a copy of this message.  I think myabe Donald you
were asking me this question instead of William.  The computer is a
pentium-3-450 so I don't think it would be considered a slow system.
I am not sure what you mean by power safe mode, except maybe from a
power management perspective.  It isn't doing this at all as far as I
can tell.  I will include a portion of the output from the kmsg's and
the output from a tulip-diag I ran.
