Re: [OT] windows networking issue
What version of windows are you running?
What type of Nic are you using?
I've seen a windows box where the nic made the lights blink on the hub...
however no traffic would pass....
Turned out to be an IRQ conflict on the win9x machine....
Changing the irq fixed the problem....
I don't know if this is what you have... just a guess!
