We have a small network of about 20 computers all running Win 2000. One of the computers no longer wants to connect to the network. I have checked the configuration and gone through the troubleshooter in Windows and nothing seems to be wrong. In fact, the connection icon on the task bar blinks and shows a connection like normal. The only thing not normal is that it is not receiving any data. Any ideas?
 
Try re-installing the NIC driver. Also try another network cable and
another port in the switch/hub.

Thanks Steve for the quick response. I have already tried re-installing drivers, changing network cables, switching to a different hub, and the only other thing I can think of is to try a different card which I don't have on me. Can you think of anything else

You can always borrow a network adapter from another PC! Also: If you run a
network of 20 PCs, having one or two spare network adapters lying about is
essential. They cost next to nothing!

Thanks for the help. I was afraid you guys would say that. I was just dreading a trip down to Fry's today
