[lug] Network card errors due to Windoze

[Glenn Murray]

Not in this one.  I checked an older Dell and you are correct in that
case: on that box I can turn off the OS plug and play options in the
Advanced section of the BIOS settings.  I went to Dell and updated the
BIOS to the latest version for this box (Dimension 8200), but nowhere
in the settings is there mention of plug and play.

Thanks,
