Didn't work. This seems to be more than just a minor issue as I see a lot of users with this problem. I'm presently using a USB ethernet so I can use my D600 on our network. We have a gigabit network and this has affected about ten of several hundred D600's that we have. The cycling of up and down is about every two seconds. This is in or out of the docking station. Here's the strange part, if I connect up a gigabit switch to the wall and connect my D600 to the gigabit switch then all is fine. If I connect the D600 directly to the wall drop then I have this cycling issue with the ethernet. We do not have any issues with any other laptops from the wall jacks like we do with these few D600's. That pretty much eliminates a signal strength problem from the wall jack. And calling the Dell technical support line has us waste several hours resolving nothing because they can't pin down exactly what the problem is.

Simplygold,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
I recommend removing all of the network drivers from your system and then install this one.

Hi,
I have a D600 also but it is running RedHat 9.0. I need the NIC driver for this OS. Please help.
Thanks
