Steve, Thanks for your reply. I am using Win 2K and reinstalled the same. When i go and download the drives from the link you sent to me, it indicates that i need to do teh following ********************
From the Network and Dial-up Connections Window Double-click on the Local Area Connection for the CNet NIC
********************************

Do you think I need to reinstall the system again?
