| 498401 | 2006-11-13 15:57:00 | Hi Nomad, thanks I just started my computer up and it took a couple of restarts till I got the connection to the net. I tried to ping and then got the router but could not get it through the interface nor get to connect to the net. Strange enough that after a couple of restarts it works again. Also this is the computer that I put a PCI Fast Ethernet card in as I was so frustrated with the connection but so far I have not been able to connect through the new card at all. This is the computer that is connected through cable to the router and there is a second machine that is connected to the router via wireless and that one works except that it is often on low. EVEREST REPORT EXTRACT from the main machine: Network: Network Adapter 3Com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (3CSOHO100B-TX Compatible) (192.168.x.xx) Modem Agere Win Modem [ 3Com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller ] Device Properties: Device Description 3Com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller Bus Type PCI Bus / Device / Function 2 / 0 / 0 Device ID 10B7-9300 Subsystem ID 17F2-2C02 Device Class 0200 (Ethernet Controller) Revision 31 Fast Back-to-Back Transactions Supported, Disabled Device Features: 66 MHz Operation Not Supported Bus Mastering Enabled Any other suggestions??

Point 2 you can try, can you connect the router onto the "other" computer? How is it? What happens if you swap this new network card onto the old computer and try it with the router? Point 3, if you take out the router and use a cross over cable and network it sharing a drive or folder does it work? Can each computer access each other? |

Networking is one of the easiest things on Windows to set up. It is plug and play most of the time and the few times it isn't is because the hardware you are connecting to is not set up properly. |

LOL...they obviously haven't tried setting up a novell boot disk with mapped drives...not flakey, but not easy either! |

By the way, not much I could learn from your post! G |
