Currently... Tech Support

Has anyone ever noticed that as soon as someone realizes you are an engineer or an IT person you immediately become their Tech Support POC? I am finally coming to grips w/ the fact that every member of my family uses me as their computer guru for just about every problem. Granted, I guess I bring some of this on myself by acknowledging the fact that I know a little something about computers and networking but I sure don't know everything. With that said if anyone knows anything about getting a Broadcom 440X 10/100 ethernet card working on a dell laptop give me a shout. The drivers all seem to be installed correctly but DHCP doesn't seem to initialize correctly and thus I can't get an IP address and ping out... Doh!!
