It's an older box I reclaimed from my mother-in-law a while back. 
Everthing has always worked fine on this box, but I've never networked 
it.  I recall trying to configure the nic before running it over to her 
house, but gave up with little effort since she wouldn't be using the 
nic.  I've swapped out a couple of different network cards and even 
upgraded the bios.  I've toggled the 'reset pci' bios option, as well as 
the disable/enable ethernet in the bios.  There's also a disable/enable 
ethernet dip switch, played with that too.
