We are currently evaluating the new Z-Note notebooks for use here and one of the major selling points for us is the on-board ethernet connection (as well as the rest of the machine's _obvious_ superiority ;-) but we do need to test it thoroughly on the network. Unfortunately we are running straight TCP/IP and this is not one of the network kernels included with the machine. The closest is the Microsoft LANManager which does allow us to ping other machines on the network, but nothing else. Does anyone know of a packet driver for the on-board ethernet? It is based on an Intel chipset, but I'm sorry I forgot the exact designation. Perhaps somebody as Zenith is working on such a driver? Perhaps in conjunction with Clarkson Uni? Any information would be very much appreciated (particularly by the local Zenith distributor). -- Jim Baltaxe - jim.baltaxe@vuw.ac.nz Computing Services Centre - Victoria University of Wellington - New Zealand -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Time is such a valuable commodity because they're not making it any more.
