NIC Problem - please help

[mishima]

Hi there,

I've just booted up my main machine (yesterday it was fine no problems) to go on the web and found that there is a cross against the LAN connection. So initially I just unlplugged the cable from either end going into PC and Router and plugged back in. This didn't solve anything.

I have tried rebooting.

I have tried another cable in another port on router.

I have uninstalled the drivers for the NIC and reinstalled latest. It installs fine but still no connection, just a red cross against the LAN icon.

Do you have any ideas what's up?

Any help, much appreciated

Hi,

I have no LED lit by the NIC connection on my motherboard. Does this mean its duff?

Weird, after like the 5th reboot (I went out and left it for a few hours) it is now lit up and working as It was yesterday... don't know how to explain that one.

Thanks for the help!
