| 47658 | 2002-05-08 00:08:00 | My computer has a built in NIC. Yesterday it seemd to stop working. OPening a command prompt and typing 'ipconfig' gave me a 'media disconnected' eror message. The Network status window (?) told me that the cable was unplugged. However, from previous experience, I think I should be able to get a local network address of the NIC with ipconfig whether the cable's plugged in or not. So I diagnosed a faulty inbuilt NIC and bought a new PCI NIC. (Dick Smith - $29 - bargain!). Same problem. Any cures anyone? Ian. |
