Well I'm not sure these days, but I believe all 3COM cards had this a couple of years ago. I believe I'ts a kind of obligation in all cards due to earth-voltage differences. But its also a protection when higher voltage comes on a wire to protect avoid damage in your pc. It can snap too when you connect a phone line in to your network card....

Erwin, That's good to know. Do most have this or just certain brands?

In several cards is a surge protection on the card. But its is a one-time protection, once it snapped the card posibly works but it has no connection with the cable anymore. You could try to change port on your hub/router, it could be those ports to. If the prob is still the same probably the surge protector on your card has snapped.... Replacing the card is only option at my knowledge. Some brands have lifetime gurantee, but don't know if that is covered by that guarantee.
