I just suffered a rush of oxygen to the brain - the problem appears to have been caused by stone ignorance. (I -knew- it would be something simple...) When I put the system together, I plugged the EtherPower board into PCI slot three to leave the maximum room for the serial cables, etc. But by default slot three doesn't have an interrupt assigned to INTA. And neither the ASUS doc nor the EtherPower doc made it sufficiently clear to me just how the PCI interrupts work... Moving the board to slot one fixed it. Thanks to all who responded. (Several of whom reminded me of some network diagnostic tools that I had forgotten about. Thanks also to whoever decided that they should be a standard part of the release.) -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...
