Switching ports didn't help, I actually moved the box to another location on the network so I could use a cable that I knew was good. . . .

I had this gut feeling that it must be a motherboard issue, but I had never seen a MB problem manifest itself like this. . . it makes me feel better if KeyerP has seen that situation. . what to do? I really don't feel like swapping motherboards and they will probably not want to. . . What will probably happen is we will just wait until they buy some new systems and rotate that one to someone that doesn't need 100. . .it is not worth spending much money on. . .If anyone can think of anyother possible software of bios issue I would appreciate it, but I am afraid there is just something screwed in the MB. . . .this system has acted funny in the past so. . .
