Thanks for the link. I used the settings recommended, turned off ipv6, 
restarted network, actually restarted the computer, (probably 
unnecessary as I updated services as I changed them), no luck!
I suspect the Nvidia ethernet driver "forcedeth.c" is the problem. 
Looking for updates and workarounds. However, it is odd that adding and 
activating another ethernet card (3COM) doesn't change the symptoms. The 
ASUS K8N MB hs an on-board ethernet which one cannot remove. Perhaps I 
need either a new driver or this MB simply doesn't run FC3 (all correctly).
