Network card problem
I have a Dell E510 minitower with built in network card. I believe
it is an Intell Pro V/100? Until yesterday I have been connecting to the network via a wireless adapter. It appeared that the wireless adapter failed (it's old). I tried it in a laptop as well and it didn't work. So I tried simply connecting the net work cable directly from the wireless four port router, (Linksys) to the minitower computer. I get the usual little of no connectivity. I checked support data and it is sending data but not receiving. This would explain why I am not recieving an IP address from the router. When I connect the cable to the laptop it works perfectly. Oh, there is also another minitower, also Dell, on the same network, hardwired to the router, and it works perfect. So I figured I might have a bad network card. So I installed a realtek card and had the same results! I have updated drivers, reinstalled drivers, I have checked card and TCP/IP settings and they are the same as in the laptop. I have even suspected the cable and have replaced one end but there is no change in performance. I don't think I have eliminated much. The only logic that I can think of is the both the built in network card and the realtek card are both bad. The built in card is 2 years old and until yesterday had never been used. The realtek card is probably 5 years old. Does anyone have any suggestions? |
