Realtek Ethernet with XP
Hi All.
Been having this issue for over 2 months now, I have given up. Can anyone shed some light or thought over this. I have XP Laptop with Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Ethernet NIC. Everything work fine, when I connect laptop at home. But I am unable to connect same laptop anywhere else like in office, friend house. I also took same cable I use at home to connect in office. Laptop sayz cable disconnected. It wouldnt even recognize cable is plugged in. Any ideas?? It is config issue?? How can the NIC card work perfectly fine at home and not anywhere else?? My home network setup : Cable Model --> Linksys Router --> Switch --> PC Any suggestion ?? Thanks, Niju |

I've seen this problem with several laptops. Believe it or not, the solution was a cheap hub or switch and just buffer the connection to the laptop. It's worth a try.
