Found the solution:  I went today and got a new card.  As soon as I
installed the new card, and loaded the right module....it worked.

The new card I got was the Linksys LNE100TX.  So far it is a great card.

The NetGear FA113 card I would suggest staying away from.  

Thanks to all the NTLUG folks who helped me.
