Funny, because I had exactly the same thing happen to me. Not with an X-surf but with a brand new AriadneII. This was several years ago. I tried everything except cartwheels and saltlicks. The AriadneII just absolutely refused to work no matter what I did. Eventually I just chucked it. Since then I've had two X-surf cards, one of which has worked flawlessly. The other one likes to take vacations every now and then.. Some days it works, other days it doesn't. Go figure :-?
