My second problem is: 2) DHCP Refuses to work also. Here is a paste (much smaller) from the kernel:

Every time (With 2 seperate network cards even) It cannot get my ip address from the campus DHCP server. I know that both cards work, because I am e-mailing you from windows 2000 on the same computer.

I don't see there the entries from the dhcp client daemon. Have a look at /var/log/messages as well. Are you sure you told it to start? Try to run it manually. I'm not sure what the command will be in 8.1, but I'd guess "rcdhclient restart". About the usb question, I don't know. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
