Hey guys...
My computer is linked up to a network, but recently I have been unable to get on the internet or on our local network. I checked the card and only one light is on. when I pinged on that computer, it says transmission failed, but when I pinged from another computer, the ip addr is ok. The cable and card are ok.
Any ideas of what could b wrong with it ?
try updating the drivers... if that doesn't work, remove the card and replace it in the computer... if that doesn't work remove and dance on it... no.... don't do that... try the first two.Quote:

I replaced the card and the cable, that didn't work either.
the 'link' light still does'nt come on
that's strange... did you update the drivers?Quote:

When I installed the new card, I loaded the drivers for that card.
could it be a hardware or software problem?
Protocol?????
Or do like the other fellows say: Reinstall drivers... and reinstalling Microsoft Networking Service might help too.
ICMP is a member of the IP protocol suite :)Quote:

Regarding this problem, suppose two computers, The offending Computer A, and then Computer B.
I find it very unlikely that if Computer B can ping Computer A, that Computer A cannot ping Computer B back. The reason for this being that the ICMP Echo Response has to be sent back, in much the same way the initial Echo would be sent.
Run, from the Command Prompt, 'ipconfig' from both machines.
Take a look at the two IPS - are you sure you're pinging the right address when you're trying to ping ?
Also, are these machines on seperate subnets, or the same subnet ?
How big of a network are you on? Is there a router involved?
Could you post your IP and subnet mask and the one that you are trying to ping?
