Ran (in conduit) about 214ft of cat5 cable underground. I get a link light, Laptop says its connected, but cannot ping anything or access any webpages, router is set up for DHCP. Didnt check to see if I got an IP. This laptop functions fine on all other runs. My question is....did I goof by running this cable and coax for CATV in the same conduit. :4-dontkno
I dont think I'm getting an IP because I cant ping the router or access its web interface. We did have to pull quite hard to get the wire through the conduit, but i think the wire is ok. I ran about 300 ma of current through the run to light an incandescent bulb at 12v on all 4 pairs.
I do not have a firewall.
I reterminated about 5 times. So im pretty sure its not that.
Maybe the wire is faulty, but I think 300ma @ 12v is a good test?
This isnt the first network I have set up, but it is the longest run I have ever done.
Any help is appreciated.
