Hi,

Try stuff to force a reallocation of Plug-n-Pray resources. Like:

If your ethernet is onboard, you can't do this, but you can try moving
the ethernet card to another slot, preferrably the farthest from the AGP
slot.

Try shuffling other cards amongst the PCI slots.

Try clearing CMOS at the same time as card shuffling.

Try uninstalling your ethernet drivers. Windows will prompt you to
reinstall the moment it reboots.

Try the card in a different PC, you may have to exercise the warranty
or buy a new card. You won't be out much, MX440's are not expensive
to replace.

Ken.
