Hi Mike and others

I have something similar happen to me when I dual boot between
WindowsXP and eCS 1.2.  However, the affected piece of hardware is
either my network card or my router, not sure which.  I can boot up
into eCS and access the internet with no problem.  However, if I boot
to WindowsXP and then boot back to eCS, I can't assess the internet. 
This happens everytime I boot reboot from WindowsXP to eCS.  It NEVER
happens when I boot from eCS to WindowsXP.

What I have to do is this.  When leaving Windows, I have to power off
the computer and then turn off my surge surpressors.  Just powering
off the computer does not solve the problem.
