One should never browse while exhausted
Yeah, I meant to go to newegg.com, but I was really tired after a long day and then spent around 2 hours trying to diagnose internet connection problems on my kids' PC from 1000 miles away. I think that the NIC went bad, and without being able to connect they can't download any diagnostic programs to confirm it.
Even more fun is going to be to get my son to remove the existing one and put in the new one after removing all traces of the original one and then installing and testing the new one. If it doesn't work, I don't know who he can turn to for help.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Linksys LNE100TX card - it states that it will PnP on older boxes and comes with all drivers on the CD. It goes for $18 on Newegg.
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
