Symptom: Ballon from System Tray ping-pongs saying
Nic Card: Broadcom NetXtreme gigabit in default settings.
Lan contains 10/100 mb interface
(D-Link DSS-5+ - 5 port 10/100 desktop switch )
Solution:
use the Broadcom control panel to set the interface back to
10mb/half duplex, no QoS, no power settings.
I tried the 10/full duplex and the 100/half duplex as well,
but only the 10/mb half duplex would retain a reliable connection.
Apparently the Broadcom is drowing the switch to which it is connected.
As the entire LAN is 10/100 anyway, this is an acceptable solution.
The router is too far away to attempt a direct connection, so a switch/hub is necessary for the physical wiring.
Someday we might try another box, vender, or upgrading the whole lan to gigabit.
Cable connected -- cable disconnected -- cable connected
when it remains attached all the while and other systems have no issues.Nic Card: Broadcom NetXtreme gigabit in default settings.
