No Internet connection via Ethernet, but Connection via Ethernet PC to PC Ok!

DGTech · Feb 19, 2014

I have some vehicle mounted units that require attention to the Ethernet port, the title says it all. These units will or will not connect to the internet via Ethernet, The ones that wont do not have a dead port... as they do connect via pc to pc, but I cant figure out why they wont connect to the internet.

Any help is appreciated.

Oh, these are Windows XP vehicle mount units, bios, and units have been reset to factory defaults, and yes I am adding in my work network properly.

You have provided no helpful detail here.

How many devices are you connecting onto the network?
What are they connecting to? A router?
Does the router connect up to a modem? What type of service?
What happens when you connect the devices?

The details you're asking for do not solve the issue of the Ethernet port not working, just solves a network standpoint of the issue. If you insist, I am in a work lab, I use ONE connection which leads back to our switch, that uses a static connection. I have available IPs to use, and have properly programmed a test hard drive with the set of drivers needed to work with these units as well as the proper network information needed.

This is not to test wireless connectivity, since they connect just fine, this is for a hardwired connection, in which... pc to pc works, and a connection to a internet networking does not (via Ethernet).

From the connection type - Switch to PC = no internet, meaning no solid green light, no blinking yellow light off the Ethernet port
From the connection type - PC to PC = Connectivity between the two, meaning solid green, blinking yellow lights off the Ethernet port

I am not trying to transfer data or files (cross over cable) between the PC to PC connection

I am trying to understand why the Ethernet port is working... if you'd like to use the term Ad-Hoc... but will not work from switch to PC (internet connection)

If you're not getting data communication to your PC from the Switch port, either the switch is powered down, or there's an error. Power cycle it and see what happens.

FYI: More details always help for troubleshooting

The problem was with your terminology. "No internet" means that you're unable to access data stored on the internet.

Your problem is that you're not seeing any light on your ethernet port.

Since you've tested PC-to-PC OK - we can be assured that the problem is on the switch side. The port is likely disabled.
