IBM xSeries 346, Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet 57xx NIC
OS: SBS2003 R2 Premium
I'm have an issue with my External NIC and LinkSYS AG241. It's just =
started=20
giving me connectivity issues with the message 'Network cable =
unplugged'.
The troubleshooting steps I've tried:
Updated both the Internal and External Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit =
Ethernet=20
57xx dirvers to latest version.
The one thing that seems to have stopped the error message is to switch =
the=20
offending NIC's Speed & Duplex to 10mbps Half and not 'Auto' or 100mbs=20
Half/Full. Where as before when the NIC's Speed & Duplex was set to =
'Auto' or=20
'100mbps' the LinkSYS port would flash as would the NIC's (flash, =
connect=20
then drop connection).
I've swapped the cables around serveral time as the only way I can =
confirm=20
it can't be the cables is when Speed & Duplex is changed when the same =
cable=20
is used.
Are there anymore troubleshooting steps I can take with regard to SBS,=20
NIC/Cables or Router!?
