The behavior is the same, with or without the network connected.

Fails, as in can't configure a printer. Print config dialogs come up but
fail to apply settings. Same behavior on FC3 (2 installs), FC4, and 2
live CDs. Gotta be hardware.

I had a odd problems several months ago when all three boxes on the
house network acted fine but Linux box stopped connecting to the
Internet. Upgraded the PS in the Linux box and all was well.
I ordered a new MSI MOBO and Crucial 512 MB memory. Should be here Mon.
I have to build a couple of new boxes in the next few months so it is no
loss.
