How do you reconnect your lan computer if it indicates it is unplugged but that is not the case? |
[Edit] |
Answer
There may be several things to check:
Miscunfigured system:
- Try to deactivated your LAN connection and re-activated it (or reboot the system, the results would be the same: the driver gets reset)
- Check the setting of your connection - DHCP on/off? When no DHCP -> IP, subnet and gateway (for example: 192.168.0.5, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.1)
- Shut down firewalls (Windows xp offers a build-in firewall which might be activated be a microsoft security patch)
- Keep the connection as simple as possible to spot the point of error.
Broken hardware:
- check if there are any LED signals at the network port on your computer, most network ports show two LEDs above the RJ45 plugin, one should be green all the time, the other one will flash when there is traffic on the line. When there is no LED lit, there is no (electrical) connection between the Hub/Switch and your computer.
- Try exchanging the patch cable
- Try resetting the Hub/switch
- Last shot: Try reinstalling your network driver (it is unlikely but might be a driver problem)
