Wake Me Up : Gigabyte 667 Ultra2 -Onboard-Lan suddenly stopped?
Ugh! I can't figure this out. Any help appreciated.
My onboard LAN suddenly stopped working. No Internet, no Local Area Network. Nothing. Only precipitating event - I just popped in a new video card (Sapphire Radeon 9100). That's it. Now, when I look at the network cable plugged into the back of the PC, the indicator light is flashing yellow. And *no* LAN related functions work. Is this a wake issue? Perhaps the new video card tricked the onboard lan (82540EM Intel chip) into permanent sleep? If so, how do I wake this thing back-up? Many thanks, J Greenman Detroit P.S. I'm using a cable modem connection, plus a router - & my other PCs work fine. I plugged the problem PC in using a working PC connection & cable. Still no go. |

What happens if you reset the cable modem and run it directly to the computer without the router? Matt |

It's Win XP Service Pack 1... not sure how this could be a router
issue. I've plugged in to a working port (tested with another PC) and it's still no go. Plus, I did nothing to the router that would have changed anything. In any case, I've tried restarting the cable modem / router. Other PC still works; the troubled PC doesn't (even when plugged into other ports). Thanks for all the ideas. Any others? I'm dead in the water still. J P.S. I know the Realtek onboard Lan on some other Gigabyte boards can be put into semi-permanent sleep (and has to be manually woken up). Anyone have experience with this on an Intel onboard Lan? Or maybe it's something else entirely. |
