Hi all. I have a question. Why my ethernet (NIC or w/e is called,lol) doesnt work anymore? It just....stopped working without warning or an error message!:wth:
I have a Motorola SB5100 Cable Modem and my NIC is a Realtek RTL8169/8110 Gigabit Family Ethernet NIC.
It was working well for like a year or something,but one day it stopped working. My modem's PC/Activity flashing lil light...wasn't flashing anymore which means there's nothing connected, and I had it plugged to the modem! So the light had to be turned on,but it wasn't. I checked the back of my CPU just to find that the LAN Jack was totally turned off (The green light should be on...always).
I downloaded the latest drivers from the manufacturer and I even opened my CPU to check if something was unplugged.Nothing worked so now I'm stuck with an USB connection,it sucks btw.:(
Could you guys please tell me is it's broken or something? Should I buy a new one?
Thanks in advance.
P.S: I'm not very fluent in English so if you don't understand something just say it and I will try to correct it.:rolleyes:
