| reply to firewire9999 Re: Weird stuff with Earthlink/Covad connection issue
A theory: Something I've seen - a network connection becomes marginal at the electrical interface. Very few devices can successfully talk to it and in your case this is, so far, only the NIC in your PC can talk to the Arescom.
A bad cable can also create such an extremely "picky" connection.
The LINK lights on each end may not indicate the problem - but take a look in case it does. They better always light when connected. |
