First, check the network patch cable you are using. Use another patch cable that is known to work, and is free of any indentations or cuts.
Contact your Internet service provider (if you are renting the cable modem you are using) and request the speed and duplex of the cable modem's ethernet connection. Then, enter the network card's properties on your system, and hard-set the speed and duplex to those exact figures. In most cases, this will be 10mbps, Full or Half duplex.
i have tried a different cable. and i called adelphis and they said they thought it is my integrated nic. i called dell and i dont think the guy understood what i was telling him. but in the end he said it wasnt the computer it had to be something else.
it was set on auto sense. i put it on 10mbps full and it works but only at around 645 Kbps and at 10 half mbps it is 1.22 Mbps. does that seem about right. 1 more question what is 802.1p QOS on the advances tab.
I am wondering if my problem connecting to the internet is due to the connection socket on my Dell Inspiron 4000. I have tried three different cables which function fine on another computer. But when plugged in to the Dell, nada. Anyway I can get this checked or worse what's it going to take to get the socket replaced?
