| 163719 | 2003-10-12 08:00:00 | I know this is an old notice but I just wish to update it as I have only just solved the problem today. The shop that fixes my machines couldn't solve the problem even 'tho the had no problem in charging me. But with a slight hint from a DELL computer forum and some advice from my mate , Awoof, I purchased a $49 switch from DSE and away it went. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and if anyone out there is having the same problem, try my solution | veterannz (960) | ||
| 163720 | 2003-10-12 08:31:00 | Hmm.. That leads me to suspect it may have been a dodgy cable, as no doubt you would have new patch cables for using your switch? | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 163721 | 2003-10-12 09:14:00 | I follow your logic and if I hadn't tried another 2 cables , I would be on total agreement | veterannz (960) | ||
| 163722 | 2003-10-12 09:21:00 | I would suspect one card was 100 and the other 10 MBs Usually the 100 are 10/100 auto switching, but if it wasn't, then the new switch is providing the speed step instead. |

| 163723 | 2003-10-12 09:26:00 | Good point, however they were previously networked fine, so something was working and broke. Either the auto-negotiations broke, or Im still thinking cable.. :D Even with one specifying 10mbps, the other should auto-neg to 10.. I havent seen any 100mbps cards that dont do 10. Even gigabit cards still do 10mbps! |
