[ale] home networking difficulties

[Andrew Grimmke]

Just an update for those who have been following along.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network card.
 Didn't work.  

I did some more research and discovered that there was
a Windows ME networking bug (imagine that, a bug in an
M$ operating system) which I fixed by hacking the
registry and reinstalling the vnetbios.vxd virtual
device driver.  This didn't help either. 

I know this is a windows problem now, but does anybody
have any ideas?
