Essentially having the same issue.
I have an IBM Desktop. Worked like a charm. I have three computers going into a router
(2 with WINXP, one with W2K).
I just installed a TV VIDEO (WinTV Go) card into the IBM. Suddenly, the Ethernet
Card isn't working. Having worked with a cable modem ISP, I did all the standard
things -
1. Removed the card, to make sure it wasn't causing an issue. No resolution.
2. Ensured the card wasn't causing any conflicts in the device manager.
3. Swapped the cable out with my laptop (W2k), which connects fine (to ensure the
cable was fine), and still no resolution.
I have even downloaded the latest drivers (using my laptop, burning the drivers to
CD then installing them on the IBM Desktop).
Still no resolution.
When I run the DIAG I found, all the tests pass, save for LINK.
I have the NETWORK CABLE UNPLUGGED and when I check via DOS, it simply reads MEDIA
DISCONNECTED.
Sadly, it's a built in NIC, so I can't remove it and try another PCI slot.
I've tried everything that has come to mind, even countless restarts, and what not,
and I am... out of ideas.
A friend of mine had mentioned, it might take a registry type fix; but I can't find
any such fix on the web.
The odd thing is, the LED on the NIC on the IBM - both lights are solid. Now if I
remember correctly, the green LED remained solid while the orange flickered. It's
not doing that anymore.
So I am at a complete loss. Any tips and suggestions will gladly be accepted! :-)
