Thanks! That is helpful! I took out all the cards and added back only 
the NIC and it appears to be working now.  So I will have to see which 
of my other cards are not working.  I am also noticing 393216K of RAM 
which strikes me as an unusual size so maybe I have to look at that 
too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep this in my troubleshooting book.

Thanks,

Stuart
