re: a NIC card gone bad.
Hi Marty and others,
troubleshooting the network *is* part of his job description. I just
like to make sure I've done my part. :) I've used a lot of systems
over the years. I'm trying to make sure that this variant of
linux/unix doesn't require that I do something else to make the NIC
usable.
re: trying another port on the other end of the LAN segment. I have
tried the other port in
the wall jack. Unless they've done something *really* bad that would
indicate that I've tried
another port on the switch as well as wires & jack.
It may very well be that the "brand name networking device" in the
closet has not auto-negotiated. That is what the networking guy is
supposed to determine, since
I don't have the keys to the "closet". :) Hopefully, my networking
guy will set his networking
device to 100 Mb fullduplex since that is what my NIC is set at, and I
can't think of a reason
why I wouldn't want it to have that setting. :)
Regards,
Marc
