For the first time in many years I loaded Win2k Professional on an old system
I had inherited (Compaq Small Form Factor, PIII 600mhz, 256MB RAM). All
devices are found and loaded after the install, including the built in NIC,
but I cannot get to the internet. I am behind a Linksys router, and my Win

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the help, it turned out that updating the NIC drivers resolved the
issue.

Thanks! :)
