 I'm using the same card on the same pc, but I if I boot the first os I 
get my static conf. working when I restart the pc and I boot the second 
os and I must use dhcp to connect! (they don't run together). I've tried 
to connect directly to my provider's hub too, but the second os seems 
not to support a static ip address???
