Bingo! Turns out my problem was that Windows did not recognize properly the NIC on my Green interface. A small visit to my board manufacturer's website, an install of the proper drivers, and i was on my way to happiness. Now i just need to figure out how to make the traffic shaper work correctly for me, but that'll be in another thread! Thanks again for the tip Jonathan.
