Unfortunately, I can not use the card in the nt box, not mine to swap with, and I don't think it is a compatible card with fbsd anyway. Do you think it is the card? I really don't have another card to put in... I'd rather not buy another without any idea whether it will be the cure... Anyone got any other ideas? I really would like to get this machine up, but have hit the cluelss point as far as my knowledge goes... Thanks... Guy
