Ethernet probs
My ethernet connection has suddenly descided it no longer wants to work, usb works fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver no joy, when i put ipconfig in cmd it gave me a media disconnected, i have had this problem before but i cant remember how i solved it :angst:
-
Is there a link light showing on the network card itself? It could just be a case of a buggered NIC.
-
its a intergrated one, theres no light on it
-
the light should be on the port itself if there is no light the nic is buggered. luckily pci cards cost bugger all nowadays.
-
You have checked the media being the cable right?. I mean if it says media disconnected it usually means the media (cable) is disconected or its a dodgy cable.

What does it connect to at the other end?
Are you sure that end is working?
I used to have a Linksys WAG54G (w/built in 4-port switch) who's wired ports failed to work (the rest of the unit was fine).
Can you test connecting your PC to some other ethernet device?
