Hi! I'm here at work and am having some issues with one pc. All of a sudden the computer stopped connecting t the internet, which is wired.
The pc presenting the issues will always restart to a base state image, so we can disconsider software related problems I believe. Nevertheless I booted a different OS from my rescue disk, which turned out to be useless.
I tried ipconfig releasing and renewing also with no results. The connection LED is active, but the data traffic doesn't light up. I tried using the ethernet cable on another PC and it worked normally, I even re-crimped the RJ-45 connector.
So as nothing seemed to work I thought the problem was with the onboard network controller, so I bought a cheap 10/100 network card.. Installed it together with the drivers and... Nothing, same issue, no data traffic.
Can anyone please shed me some light? The only thing I can think of is checking the connection on the network switch, but since the cable works in the other pc this shouldn't be the issue.
Please help!
EDIT: I should also say that I don't have access to my LAN on that PC, so it's not only the internet connection. I tried accessing my router through that pc and wasn't successful doing so.
