The lan connection goes on n off, on n off, on n off, it keeps on doing that like for 50 times, then the connection is connected at 1.0 Gbps, whereas its usual speed is 100 Mbps. But when its connected at 1 Gbps, nothing works on lan. The dsl, computer connected through the lan, nothing. Can anyone tell me the cause/problem? I have tried reseting the tcp/ip settings but didnt work. It keeps on giving the ' network cabel unplugged' error message and then connects and then again the error message and then connects. Link Speed & Duplex is set to Auto negotiation. I tried setting it to 100 Mbps full and 100 Mbps half duplex but it still keeps on disconnecting-connecting. I have this lan card : Realtek RTL8168D(P)/8111D(p) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. The device manager tells me everything with this hardware is working fine. But when the lan stabilizes, nothing works. 2 people need an answerI do too
