Hi Gary. Yes, I could certainly do what you suggest, and I may end up
having to do that. My issue with doing that though is that this eg1032
adapter is the one I bought to use with vista because my integrated
nforce nic is not vista compatible. As unhappy as I am with vista in
some aspects, I would feel much worse about it if I had to purchase 2
nics in order to use it, so I am persisting at this point in trying to
get this one installed again. But thanks much for your reply.
