What do you mean by power cycle the switch? I'm having the same problem everyone
else is and suspect that it is an xp problem. Both of my computers are xp, but the
one with the network cable unplugged is hooked up through the phone line (hpna) through
a 2wire pc portal, not a nic card. There is no way to set the 10/100/1000 mb with
this adapter. I think it must automatically be set since it is a 10 mb adapter. It's
been working fine since I bought it in May and just in the past week and a half I've
been getting the network cable unplugged bubble intermittently then last night it
is permanent and that computer can not hook up to the internet at all now. I've tried
several fixes mentioned here and still nothing. Any other ideas?
