You say it works through a Linksys Switch, but not when directly
connected. You aren't using a crossover cable when you connect to the
switch are you? If so, you can't use the same cable to connect
directly to the router. Your symptoms are consistent with using the
wrong type of cable (crossover instead of direct, or vice versa).

Sorry Barb it didn't help.
No matter what, I keep getting "no cable in network adapter" and the port
light on the router is out. I'm going to hook up a Linksys router after I get
back from work tonight. I'll let you know if that solves anything. I was
using a D-Link DI-624 and it saw the Vista computer fine but I couldn't get
it to see Microsoft Live Gaming no matter what port I opened.
Thank you for all of your help.
Marc
:
one last thing to try (that I remember from the Vista beta and some
folks with Marvel Yukon NICs
1. Start button, type in
devmgmt.msc [enter] and ack the UAC prompt
2. Expand Network Adapters
3. Right Click the Marvell device and go to properties.
4. Click on the advanced tab.
5. Select IPv4 Checksum Offload and set the Value to Disabled.
6. Select OK.

Flow control did not help. Here are two IPCONFIGs. The first is when the
computer is connected directly to the router. The second (when it works) is
when it goes from router through switch to computer.

Good luck and Thanks.

Marc, you tried all the suggestions and nothing helped at all? One
last thing to check is whether flow control is on or off in the NIC
properties. Can you try that and toggle and report back?
can you also please post the output in text of ipconfig /all from an
administrative command prompt after you toggle and reboot?
to answer your question on router recommendations, I know several
folks that are very happy with the Buffalo line of routers. However,
we should be able to solve the issue with your current setup without
resorting to that.

Hi Barb,
I though we had it with the Marvell drivers because I did not have Vista
drivers. But, alas, nothing helps. I'm going to get a Linksys WRT150N and see
if that works. The wireless part isn't a big deal for me, I really wanted the
gigabit router for gaming. Can you suggest a better solution than the
Linksys? I have a D-LinK DI-624 which I could just use for wireless. THANK
YOU for all your advice.
:
I use a DIR-655
So you have tried the driver at
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=101&pId=39 ?
is the NIC set at auto sense connection speed?
it is possible that this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934430 might be part of the issue
too. try disabling auto tuning as per the KB instructions.
I've got a Marvel Yukon on one of my desktops and I am not seeing an
issue.

Thanks for writing Barb,
I have updated to the latest firmware on the router. I tried everything you
suggested. I think my Network Adapter is a Marvel Yukon built on my Asus
P5NSLI board with latest driver. Just so strange that it work through the
switch and not directly plugged into the router. I may have to try another
router. Which one is your favorite?
Thanks,
Marc
:
which firmware are you running in the 655?
http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DIR-655
try a different cable?
try a different port on the router (swap with one that is currently
on an XP machine?
what NIC card? what driver?
finally, also see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
Just installed a D-Link DIR655 router. I have 3 computers hard wired. The 2
on XP work fine but the router cannot see the one with Vista Home Premium.
The light on the router does not even light for that connection. I have
disabled the IPV6 but still nothing. Funny thing is if I connect the computer
from router by way of a Linksys switch, it works. D-Link says it's a Vista
problem. Someone suggested assigning a static IP but I didn't have much luck.
(not sure I did it right)
Please help!
Thanks. Marc
