Title: Crashes PC when ip changes
Product review: Although this unit installed & worked ok, I bought it because I am constantly testing different network equipment on my XP machine & did not want to lose my corporate connection to test them. Unfortunately whenever I either change the network settings or unplug this device my PC totally crashes & restarts. I suppose this bug could be either XP or this kit but either way if I had another chance I would buy a different one. I agree with the other review that the rj45 socket is less than solid & there are some cables which will not hold in place properly. If you only want a permanant Ether connection & don't switch addresses or cables then this works fine. It even comes with a USB extension cable about 5cm long which you will need if your usb connectors are in line rather than side by side because the unit itself is slightly wider than a socket preventing access to the adjacent usb connection.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
