hello,
I too ahve a same problem with windows xp home edition.My system fujitsu siemens
scaleo has a built in lan card.I have one 100 base T switch and a 10 base T hub for
networking.10 systems in a domain connected by switch(100mbps) and 10 systems as
a workgroup with hub(10 mbps).I tried to conect the system to the switch it shows
"cable is unplugged".But strangely when i connect to the 10 base T hub it is connected
and n/w works fine.I connected another system with windows xp professional and it
works fine with 100 base T switch.Is it something to do with xp home edition? Please
anybody has an answer to this?
