at my work i have a network of computer on a peer to peer - ont of the
computers - dell hasa intergrated nic card and is installed with a second nic
card - about a month ago the intergtrated card appeared to stop working and
would not allow other computer to connect to it or allow connection to the
internet. so in this case i changed the cable to the other nic that was on
the computer - this was fine for a couple of weeks and then the same thing
happened again - thought might be viruse /spyware - did full checks - nothing
today i did a full reinstall of the operating system and wiped hard disk
however still get the same problem and even though i get activity light on
the respective nic cards - there is still no connect to either any computer
or the internet.
another things is that this computer used to connect to the internet
through another computer - when i run networking wizard on my computer which
is not working using the intergrated nic card it does no recognise the ICS
computer - however when i swap the cable to the other NIC on the computer and
run the network wizrd again it reconisezs the ICS but wont allow me to broswe
the web.
so i have swaped the cables which did not resolve the issue - reinstalled
the operating system - which did not resolve the issue and both nic have both
failed to respond within 1 week which i find very stange.
so i know that this is a long problem - is thereany software which will
thorougly test nic apart from the networking tool on windows xp - as it is
weird for both cards to fail within a short time of each other
thanks
