| 718098 | 2008-11-07 00:58:00 | I would try connecting it directly to another pc with a cross-over cable, assign the ip addresses of both devices manually and see if pinging works then. Like that you can fully isolate the problem as being a faulty NIC card. | WarNox (8772) | ||
| 718099 | 2008-11-07 02:53:00 | you are correct, i will have to do this. *creates cross over cable* | Xavier (11355) | ||
| 718100 | 2008-11-08 06:58:00 | hey guys, yeah i'm not getting any replies from the laptop and the computer.. I am guessing the network card is broke :(. rang the computer shop i regularly visit (XP Computers) in auckland and they've got a USB ethernet card for 22 bux so might just get that... |

| 718101 | 2008-11-08 07:56:00 | Have you checked the network socket for bent contacts (worth a look). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 718102 | 2008-11-08 11:13:00 | Yeah I'd call it quits and admit defeat, the NIC is faulty! Just the fact that there is no flashing led on a live connection indicates that as far as I know! $22 isn't much but a device constantly sticking out of a USB port might become annoying (as well as take up a USB port), if you got built in wireless why not use that?! |

| 718103 | 2008-11-08 12:40:00 | because for some reason, if i apply static ip address of 10.x.x.x (internal windows domain address) through a wireless connection, it does not talk to the server... actually, i wont give up hope just yet. I'll try my laptop in a different network. I think my network does not want to talk to the laptop in anyway on the 10.x network... sigh...*re-installs win2k3 server* :( |

| 718104 | 2008-11-08 21:53:00 | tried winsock fix, google it and download . Seems strange that both wireless and hard wired nics fail at the same time | beama (111) | ||
