God, Please, NO!!! Not likely that the card went bad.

Sadly it seems to be so... I tried my *other* Uther card in the GS (amazing I didn't think of that sooner!) and it worked perfectly, so the only possibility is the card itself.

No idea what might have gone wrong since I have my GS behind two surge protectors and a UPS... possibly heat? I have a MicroDrive with attached 2.5" HDD in S2 and a ComputerEyes video card in S3 with the Uther in S4, though I had my first Uther in that set-up for over a year and it's still fine. Maybe just bad luck?

All the power line filtering in the world won't save the PHY interface from events carried in on the ethernet cable itself. Do you live in an area with frequent electrical storms and/or lots of dry weather?
