Apology to CB! Thanks for the schematics - interesting to see what's inside and you're right - I don't want to hang around for new bits and sending stuff back! but as Ubi says... I have a waranty...

P.S. try the mini tazer made from a disposable camera... scares cats good!

Yeap! thanks everybody - I'm sincerely moved by the sympathy I'm feeling Will wait for the support guys to get back to me because that looks like a whole new system board.... Going to the attic to dig out DVDs...

Are the network ports on a bus, manually removable, does anybody know?

Thanks Cheeseboy!

I sent support an email last night once I'd exhausted my ideas, so I'll see what they say. Thought I would ask here if anybody else had had a similar experience!

Hi all.

It gets worse - shamefuly I'm on 'doze 7 which won't play with anything from the 20th century, it seems... Had the same issue with a Netgear PS121, which worked with XP just fine. It's not the Bubba's fault. I'm thoroughly enjoying that

...of course, ndiswrapper being for network cards won't help much! It's been a long day!

Thanks Cheeseboy - apologies for the mis-post, typical newbie
