Ok, the system is not here right now but I have another one
I could get info from. Actually, I am not sure it pings anybody
on the subnet or gateway but I know it RX and TX packets just
fine.

Let me see if I can get that. But, I do have this to ask...

Can I do anything about the MAC address? The server seems to not
see my PC at all. It almost seems like it can not get a fix on
my MAC address for some odd reason. I honestly think the ISP
has the fault, not me. But, can you think of any reason why
windows PCs can work on it but NOT Linux running the same
exact Orinoco card?

This is a really crazy problem. I suspected the servers firewall
was dropping my PCs packets off but why? I tried other IPs and
subnets.

Thanks

Joel
