Got a problem with a network card....
operating system XP pro newly installed/formatted
network card, tried 2 x realteks same problem
problem:
Installed XP, i am on a LAN no probs, sharing the net, file transfer all ok
next morning, swtich machine on and the connection is 10mbit when it was 100
i removed the cable however, strangly, it is still 10mbit
no packets are recieved or sent despite pings
and its the same just sitting at 10mbit
what strikes me is WITHOUT The cable connected to the card, (rj45 patch) it still doesnt sense no cable and so it shoudl be 'notconnected'
i changed the card, reformatted, and it was fine... next morning same thing
tried reinstalled the card and protocals too...
help!
cheers
