   Do you have Intel adapters or adapters made with Intel chipsets?  I =
have never had a problem with Intel adapters.  The proset drivers = whether
from Intel or Windows Update have always worked for me.

   Do you
have Intel adapters =
or adapters=20
made with Intel chipsets?  I have never had a problem with
Intel=20 adapters.  The proset drivers whether from Intel or
Windows Update = have=20
always worked for me.
