This may be a lame answer but how tight of a physical connection is there on your Ethernet cable to the PCMCIA card? I had an occasional "lost link beat" on my laptop due to messed up pins on the PCMCIA card itself meaning that the connection itself was flaky. When the connection wasn't good the Ethernet driver lost the beat to the link which was solved by pushing the do-hickey on the cable in more to the connector on the card. Elizabeth

I also have a Linksys on my laptop and get the same error. On my unit, it appears to be due to a loose connection between the card and the dongle.Paul King
Thanks Elizabeth and Paul. It seems I had a flaky network cable. After making a new one, it works fine. Now, if I could get the Linksys modem working, I would be in heaven--It's the only thing that keeps me from trashing the Windows partition.
