| JoeTheOdd | Mhm. I've determined that the card can send packets, yet not receive. I don't have any proof of this, but I can form some educated guesses on this. 1) The card sends a DHCP IP request packet. It waits. 2) It was sent sucessfully, and this computer recieves it. Mmk, what now? Sends the responce. 3) The other computer: Wheres my responce? Hm, must not be connected.. LIMITED CONNECTIVITY, PHEER! 4) Meanwhile, I can ping "BOB" (the other computer) from this box, because I received step 1 and it now has an IP, but I get timeouts. Does this sound logical, as to whats happening, and is it possible for the card to be half-dead? | November 23, 2005, 2:21 AM |
| kamakazie | If the computer is being assigned an IP via DHCP, then it can receive packets. Maybe you have a bad ethernet cord? | November 23, 2005, 4:41 AM |
