HI,

 I am just now catching up on the conversation.

 The Amaya software does not use a Windows standard Ethernet protocol or 
setup to communicate to the machines. The Amaya OS software uses a third 
party driver that bypasses Microsoft Windows protocols all together. This 
driver looks for an Ethernet adapter so is not going to work on a USB to 
Ethernet type of setup.

 I hope you still plan to get the Ethernet PSB this morning.. :) If the 
computer you installed it on has other items connected to the Ethernet port, 
such as the Internet, then even if you are going to leave it in this 
computer, you should add the additional Ethernet Card and put the Amaya on 
it. It is recommended to isolate the Amaya networking from other networks 
and have it on its own connection.

Also, it is recommeded to set the Ethernet adapter to 10 Megabit, Half 
Duplex and lock into this setting. Windows defaults to an automatic setting. 
To set the adaptor to 10 Megabit, Half Duplex start your Window's Control 
Panel by clicking on START/Control Panel. Select Network Connections. 
Right-click on the Ethernet Adaptor for your AMAYA network. Select 
Properties. Left-click on the Configure button. Left-click on the Advanced 
tab. In the property listbox there will be an entry referring to "speed" or 
"line speed". (All network adaptors are not the same so it may require some 
investigating to find the correct entry.) Select the appropriate entry and 
change the setting under Value to the closest representation of 10 Megabit, 
Half Duplex. Click OK.

You should turn off the network bindings for the AMAYA network. Network 
bindings are what tie the Windows Protocols and network characteristics to 
the Ethernet Adaptor and they can inteferre with the proper operation of the 
Amaya communications. To turn off the network bindings, start your Windows 
Control Panel. Select Network Connections. Right-click on the Ethernet 
Adaptor for your AMAYA network and then select Properties. On the General 
tab, make sure that all entries in the This connection uses the following 
items: are unchecked.

 Let me know if you have any questions.
