Still no solution to this problem...
This is on a Dell Latitude CPx 650/XP Home with a xircom cardbus ethernet 10/100+modem
RBEM56G-100
I have connected my desktop and laptop together on a ethernet network, cat5e cable
(not crossover) from ethernet port on desktop to port 1 on a Gigafast switch. Cat
5e cable from port 2 on Gigafast switch to Xircom cardbus 100+modem 56 PCMCIA card
in my laptop. Laptop generates "network cable unplugged message" and has a red "x"
through the LAN. Desktop LAN appears to be fully functional. Port 1 shows link light,
port 2 shows nothing.
Solutions tried;
Tried switching cables
switching cable direction
reseating Xircom card
uninstalling/reinstalling Xircom card
switching ports on switch
replacing switch with D-Link Router
updating to Xircom's final release of drivers for this product
adjusted driver properties page, by choosing the configure tab, and setting the duplex
and speed (reset after that failed)
disabled ics (re-enabled after that failed)
Modem is fully functional on this card but LAN simply distributes "network cable
unplugged message"
Have I tried it all??? Can I rule the card bad?
Thanks for any input
