[dba-SQLServer]OT: *&^$*& PCMCIA Card

Thanks Stuart.  I took your advice and my network card works now.  My 
network card has about 15 settings and I tried changing them and somehow, by 
the luck of the draw, it works.  Still not as a fast as it was before with 
Win98 but it will do.  This exercise took a long time because everytime I 
change a setting on my network card it would not send or receive anything 
until I reboot my machine.
Thanks again
Billy
