A friend of mine has a Linksys wireless router w/4 port switch. He currently doesn't have an Internet connection, & uses the router as a DHCP server for his Compaq desktop pc & his Viewsonic Tablet PC.
When I plug his desktop into the switch, the 100Mb light doesn't light; Windows Me device manager tells me the nic is a Intel 10/100 device. I thought that maybe the cable was the problem, so I switched cables with the tablet but the same thing happens (i.e., the tablet is again correctly recognised at 100Mb, while the desktop continues to be shown as having a 10Mb connection).
I tried reloading the divers (& TCP/IP), but the issue persists. If I attempt to force the nic to run at 100Mb instead of "auto sense", WinMe refuses to boot normally & goes into safe mode.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
