Ok guys....Thanks for the help. This issue has been driving me nuts. My wife thinks
I am a complete a**hole right now.
I have a cable modem running to XP box with ICS enabled it's going to NIC #1 (ADMTEC
AN983). Its running in "autosense" mode for advance properties in device manager.
It also has a second NIC installed. NIC#2 (REALTEC RTL8139) In Device manager settings
are LINK SPEED 10Full Duplex mode.
NIC#2 is running to a 4 port hub, to the "link" port specifically(Bay Networks 10bastT)
running in "normal"(non uplink) mode.
I have second machine that I want to share the internet connection with going to
another port on the hub.
Then second machine also has a REALTEK NIC exactly the same as the first. It is running
Windows server 2003. I have applied the same settings as the other Realtek NIC on
the first machine.
IT FINALLY WORKS! Both machines can use the internet. The second going through the
first.
Before, by default the NICS are set to autodetect in the advanced properties of device
manager. This simply did not work. On both XP and on Server2003, I got the "network
cable unplugged" error. Then, I added the hub and set both Realteks to 10FullDuplex
and it finally works.
DON'T OVERLOOK THE ADVANCED PROPERTIES SETTINGS IN DEVICE MANAGER.
I hope this helps somebody.
