I'm having the exact same problem with multiple Acer desktops at work

me go buy one. I forget the brand I got, but guess what, it works
consistantly on the front ports.

Mmmmm, I wonder if the problem may be the jump drive. I too have a
Lexar 1 gig that cannot connect to my Dell notebook. Works on the
other two computers here though. Also works on my grandson's. Is
there a common thread here?

As far as I know, the pins you connected your front ports to are controlled
by the same chip as the rear ports. However it is possible that the cable
or cables running to the front ports on the case are not wired for 2.0.

Ian (trying to bottom post as much as possible!)

Mine is a Lexar 1 gig. It works fine in the back ports on my 8KNXP,
but not the front ports. It works on my Dell laptop and in the front
ports on the IBM desktops at work.

Wonder how we can find out about the front port wiring to see if it's
correct, or if they even support 2.0? A jump drive is one of the
things that the front ports are the handiest for.....
