Three weeks ago my Lan just quit on me!
I've been trying to fix it ever since, but now i'm compleatly stumped.
The problem started just like that, from one sec to another! No violent thunderstorms or physical abuse to my hardware!
This is what i've done so far:
I've verified that there's NO problem with my ISP.
I've changed the net-card (PCI 10/100 Ethernet)and drivers.
Replaced my cable.
I've "nuked" my HD and re-installed windows (98).
Re-installed the net-card and drivers. (tried alternative PCI slots).
Checked and reset my BIOS.
Double and triple checked the IP, Netmask, Gateway and DNS.
I've checked my system for any conflicts or other anomalies, but found nothing.
And i still cant get my puter to connect!
Can i do anything more, or is it time for the old sledgehammer?
Desperatly hoping for some help.
Tia!
