I've got 3 comps running Win 98 and one running XP. They are all connected to a Linksys 4 port router. All comps have access to the internet, however none of the comps are able to see each other on the network? Everything was working fine about 3 weeks earlier until something probably got ...

PCI card
Thanks for the reply. But it's not telling me what specific pci card is giving me the problem. And yes it is having a conflict (yellow exclamation) all it says is that it cannot find a driver. But I'm asking is where I might find one.

sync, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Klipsch's are THX certified, I'm pretty sure the speakers have to be 400watts or damn close. In order to be THX certified, the speakers are put under heavy testing, in order to be THX certified, so I would not think the 400watts is a lie....Ahoyhoy
