Thanks a lot. Yes we tried netlink on third floor of main library not the
cyber cafe.
I did install the network card. It should be fine no errors in System (Control
panel). It booted nicely brought up the PCMCIA card and then I did winipcfg and
it gave the N2000 adapter an IP and wins and so forth the addresses. Funny was
that on winipcfg the default gateway was not filled in.

The card is a Linksys Combo card and I picked its driver but I am not sure if
it actually is a N2000 adapter, as winipcfg is trying to tell me.

Guess we got to play around with it a bit longer.
