Hi all
I came back from vacation and plugged all 3 my computers back in and connected my router, everything worked fine except for the Ethernet port on computer 2, the light doesn't even work. I have tried the same Ethernet cable from the router to a different computer and it works, and I have tried connecting computer 2 and 3 together via Ethernet, but that did not work. So this left me thinking the port is fried, probably from moving the computer around, after all it is 5 years old. But in device manager if i right click the NIC and go to properties, it shows "This device is working properly". So now I am a bit confused, should I just buy a new NIC or is there any other way to diagnose the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
