Thanks for the link Dan, I'll check it out. As for swapping the NIC with
another workstation, not an option. Two of my workstations are Dell Optiplex
GX1's with integrated NICs and the other has the same LNE100TX as this one. I
am considering adding another NIC using RH's compatibility list as a guide for
purchasing one that'll be easy to install. Perhaps the one you mentioned,
DFE530TX+.

Thanks again for the info.
