Wanted to make an update. It seems (Based on online research) that I am not
alone in the phenomenon of not being able to connect. I have become aware that
others running have had the same problem. Although it doesn't actually look to
be Linux related. In the cases that I have researched when the person having
the issue changed hardware the problem disappeared. With some it was as simple
as changing to a USB based network interface as simply changing the PCI based
NIC did not solve the problem. With me it was solved by changing the
motherboard that was being used.
