You bring up a good point.  I mainly wanted to get it to work because
I originally planned to use it wirelessly and bought a wifi card for
it.  There is no good reason to use it wirelessly and given the speed
difference between wireless and wired, a very good reason not to.
Anyway it is not a big deal for me if it doesn't work as I will get
along without it by using the wired network connection.

Thanks for your time, and if you have other suggestions I welcome them.

Best,

Chris
