LAN not working
hi all,
my pc is connected to the net using a LAN cable. It was working fine, but then it just stopped working. It says that the hardware is working fine, and its nothing to do with my isp, as it works fine usinig the same lan cable on my laptop. Could this be a virus? I decided to delete the existing windows XP installation, and put a new installation on my pc. It's still not working, which tells me it can't have been a windows virus. What else could this be? could it be that a virus before has changed some hardware settings 'deep-down' in my pc, so it won't work regardless of which os i run? (i tried linux but that didnt connect either!) thanks |

Couple of questions
Maybe your Ethernet card has gone bad? Not likely. . but possible. Try using another Ethernet port and see if that works. You can still get a power surge through your LAN cable. It doesn't happen often. . but when it does . . its a pain. A virus wouldn't be the cause of this. Most viruses want to be able to transmit . . and they can't transmit if your internet connection is down.
If its not your ethernet card . . what happens when you type in ipconfig /all in the command prompt.. Try typing in ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew. Thanks |
