Ethernet connection problems
Hi Group,
I have an Inspiron 6000 with W-XP. Wireless works good, but the ethernet will not connect reliably to the LAN/Internet. On rare occasions it will connect, but normally it will not. The quicklaunch icon shows the connect and shows finding the IP address. Then...the icon disappears. When the icon disappears, the computer will not connect to the Internet. If the icon does not disappear, a very rare situation, the computer will connect. This is with any direct connection such as a hotel connection or with an ethernet connection to a router.
I have a Broadcom440x10/100 adapter, under Network Connections, it shows the adapter as connected. Under Device Manager it shows the device is working properly.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks.
- i have the same card (broadcom 440x 10/100 intergrated controller) on my inspiron 1150.....but i have a problem with the internet...it says its connected to my cable modem, but the internet doesnt work...i went to a friends and connected it to a dsl modem and it worked fine....the wireless internet says its connected too, but no internet.....any help?...i already uninstalled drivers and re-installed them
