lets see if you can solve this one! so far no one can fix
it.
I have 3 computers and one works fine and the other two
just stopped working about a month ago. The first one I
tryed to reformat the hard drive and reinstal the os and
the network card to see if that was a problem and the
card started to work. with in the hour the card stopped
working. I can not get it to work again unless i
reformat. My third computer that stopped has a 3com
network card on board the mother board(asus). It stopped
working also for no reason. I have installed a second
network card on the computer and it does not work.
I have checked all the settings for the tcp/ip and the
dhcp setting with the computer that works and have not
found any differences. I have gone in the dos prompt and
did the ipconfig and i get a ip address that starts with
169. which I beleive is the os default. I have tryed to
release and renew and that comes up with errors. When i
do the ipcofig I also get just below the list is that the
network card is unplugged, but it is not. the cable for
the network card is good and the two computer icon on the
task bar is saying that i am conneted. it tells me that i
have 0 sent and 240 received. I have checked the device
manager and the network card is working properly. I have
no problems with the computer with the built-in network
card since I have purchased it about 5 months ago. I have
a motorola cable modem(sufboard) to get onto the internet.
modem is working fine because I can use it with the
computer that workes. note: the email address above is my
work address. I am not sure how fast you can solve this ,
so i give you my other address at home which
is "(e-mail address removed)".
Good Luck
