What is going on?
This laptop worked previously, days ago. With the same cables. Another laptop works fine with one of those cables.
uneducated guess would be failing hardware. does your bios have a
hardward
check?
No, but I will try another OS.
It appears to be the cable. I swapped to a commercially made cable, and it works. Maybe those two old cables only works at 100, not 1000, because one of them is in use with another laptop just fine, at 100. But it worked in the past with this laptop just fine.
Weird.
but the cable *is* hardware.
But not the machine. A cable is replaceable, a laptop port is not. Not easily, anyway, not by myself. It is an expensive ordeal.
well, earlier you said, "one of those", implying more than one cable was tried ???? but still failure, which would indicate both bad cables or the port and all are hardware and hardware is not exclusively "computer". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?
