Hi Guys,
I'd appreciate any help on the below issue. I've searched the net for hours and tried many things - no luck.
Issue:
I try to connect a WinXP SP2 PC to a DLink DI-514 Router vith a straight (not Cross-over) cable but I continuously get "Network Cable unplugged".
Symptoms:
- the networking icon is displayed in the notification area of the Windows taskbar with a red cross on it - tooltip says "Network cable unplugged"
- same message appears next to "Local network" in "Network Connections"
- the LED for the used channel on the router is constantly OFF
Details:
- Router is definitely OK - 2 other PCs are connected and work fine (Internet access is OK)
- Cable is definitely OK and not cross-over: tried between the router and one of the other PCs and works fine
- NIC is integrated on the motherboard, "SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter", installed properly and enabled
- MAC address filter of the router does not register any incoming request from the MAC address of the SiS NIC
What I have tried so far:
- disabled and re-enabled the NIC
- unplugged, cleaned and re-plugged the NIC connector on the motherboard
- checked the network cable and the NIC connector for deformed pins
- plugged the cable into another plug on the router
- downloaded the latest driver from the SiS website and installed it
- settig the "MediaType" value manually (instead of "Auto_Config") in Device Manager > Network card > SiS 900...Adapter > Properties > Advanced (tried all possible values: 10BaseT, 10BaseT Full_Duplex, 100BaseTX, 100BaseTX Full_Duplex)
- Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
- Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log
Unfortunately I have no other NIC to try in the PC.
I'd welcome any helping ideas.
Many thanks,
Tibor
