Note: When I moved the NIC to a new PCI slot, the NIC was then recognized as "New
Hardware", whereas it was not recognized as such in the previous slot for whatever
reason (I thought it was seated completely). Anyway, once in the new slot and recognized
as "New Hardware", the installation of the driver(s) for the NIC from its CD ran
smoothly and the connection came up. BTW ... I am just using a cross-over cable
directly between the two PCs, no hub or router.
