Okay . . . I just need confirmation on what I think is true . . . or everyone tell me how wrong I am. I have a customer who bought an iMac 400 DV from me, and how he says his Ethernet connection is fried. My experience has been that the Ethernet port is hard wired into the logic board, so that the only alternative is to replace the logic board. However, this particular customer tells me that at some point he had a tech "replace" the NIC on a 333 that he has . . . "only took a few minutes." Now, is it possible that the problem in that case was only the ethernet connector, and the replacement that the tech performed was the I/O board? I'm confused on this, as I have always thought that the Network Interface was integrated into the logic boards of the iMacs . . . no separate cards like a PC. Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I, MacMan

Just so nobody thinks you failed to read what subjects go where, I've edited your thread subject. You're asking about the HARDWARE in a slot-loading iMac, so the subject should reflect that and not look like you are asking a networking question in the wrong place.
