| 728751 | 2008-12-14 03:47:00 | Its an adapter on the end of that cable youre using. Which is usually used, if youre connecting to another PC, (if youre on dialup), and if youre not using a router |

| 728752 | 2008-12-14 03:50:00 | NO adapter just a straight cable.Not on dialup on D-LINK DSL-504G router | kjaada (253) | ||
| 728753 | 2008-12-14 03:54:00 | Are any of the LEDs actually flashing / doing anything on the back of this NIC?? To show any activity? If theyre not its probably dead. Or disabled in the Bios or something The part where you plug it into the NIC isnt broken is it?? Plug the other end into another port on the router |

| 728754 | 2008-12-14 04:02:00 | tried another cable and it was no different. The led on the router lights up but stays constant. |

| 728755 | 2008-12-14 04:04:00 | Could be dead then, if theres no activity on the PC NIC itself (at the back) The router LEDs will be doing something, since its getting info from the net as well Go to its properties (the LAN) / TCP/IP. Put the ips in manually. See if there's any diff |

| 728756 | 2008-12-14 04:05:00 | PS to above.There is no green light around the plug like on all other connections. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 728757 | 2008-12-14 04:25:00 | Now talking of crossovers: On one box the plug goes in one way and on the other it goes in "upside down" could this be the problem ???? and I need a "crossover ??? |

| 728758 | 2008-12-14 04:32:00 | No if the computers are going through a router, none of them need crossover adapters Just as long as the cable is connected directly to the NIC it should work |

| 728759 | 2008-12-14 06:09:00 | PS to above . There is no green light around the plug like on all other connections . If no green light then theres no connection - could mean a dead port on either the router or the MB if its an on board Ethernet connection . When you have the PC connected does the port Light on the router show up, or does it remain off ?? 1st thing to try is a different port on the Router - if still no go then the connect a known good PC/Laptop to a known good cable and see if its working OK . IF the PC is still not connecting, (showing Green) go into the BIOS and Make sure the setting are back to default - even if you are not getting a working Internet connection the light should be green if a connection is there showing its getting power . From a router you would normally use a straight through cable - there are 8 wires in the connection, on a straight through the out from the sending device (router) Oh hell - This explains it better ( . homenethelp . com/web/explain/about-ethernet-crossover . asp" target="_blank">www . homenethelp . com) :) |

| 728760 | 2008-12-14 12:52:00 | Could I just reiterate. I take the all going 100% cable from my laptop,plug it in to my new computer along side it on the table and there is no light around the port on the puter but the screen shows connected at 100 mps.The port light on the router is on but I can not use the internet. Connection data on the screen shows packets being sent out but no response from the router.My mainframe which is also connected to the network is still OK and my laptop still is OK if I change the cable back to it. I am now wondering if MAYBE I should try a crossover cable just to the new puter. |
