Hello, Further to my earlier postings, I have now got my network up and running, well at least able to ping each other. However TKDesk still locks up the whole computer when the network is enabled. /sbin/init.d/network stop allows TKDesk to run fine. Is this a known issue or is it unique to this driver, Hardware Linksys Etherlan PCI II at io=0xfce0 irq=9 driver = ne2k-pci.o SuSE Linux 5.2 I would relly appreciate advice on this as I do like TKDesk.
