| 1330837 | 2013-03-02 06:44:00 | Dugimodo, Thanks for that, not too famliar with W7, as it is SWMBOs MM computer, I just built it set it up and left it to her(with occasional maintenance). I am also not too familiar with screenshots either, especially on a non-connected computer, too steep a learning curve at the moment I'm afraid. So here's my summary: Realtec PCIe GB Family Controller Connections(All ticked) Client for MS Networks(ticked but greyed out) QoS File & Print Sharing IPV6 IPV4 Link layer io Driver Link Layer Responder Thats it. |

It doesn't matter what you are using, the point of this is to see if you can connect to the router with a shorter cable. Your connection to the internet being irrelevant for this test, just connectivity between the machine and the router. |

| 1330839 | 2013-03-02 07:41:00 | ^^ Cato is right, at the very least it should then come up that you have "Limited Connectivity" to prove that your longer cable was faulty. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Thank you Cato & Chill. Every thng clicked into place once the router was connected. I Got a bit off base when it worked on the xp machine @ 100mbps but not on both together. Nice to get it sorted. |
