D-Link DFE-520TX / PCI Ethernet Card Not Responding To Cable?
Aug 11, 2012
A few days ago my mother's computer suffered a burned out motherboard ethernet adapter due to the PPPoE box on the roof of our building getting hit during a thunderstorm (apparently). I decided to buy a separate ethernet card, as her computer had a PCI slot free at the time - why not use it? I ended up buying a cheapo D-Link DFE-520TX. Anyway, I took it home, booted up the computer (running Windows XP with SP2 I believe) and installed the drivers supplied with the card. The instructions clearly stated to install drivers first, then physically install the card. I did so - everything went smoothly, popped the card in, booted the computer up again. Card was found, no problems. Except when I plugged the network cable in, the card remained idle. No blinking green activity light, no reaction from the Local Area Connection on the computer, nothing. Device Manager/Properties tells me everything is working just fine - except that the card itself doesn't "work". Took it back to the store, they plugged it into their test machine - everything worked just fine, green light blinking, internet access, etc. I've since tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, swapping PCI slots (the second one is taken up by a Sound Blaster Pro). No dice - the audio card works in either slot, the network card doesn't work anywhere.

Could the new internet card be making my downloads and emails VERY slow or is it bad line speeds. Would a new modem router improve things.

I have a Belkin usb adapter to pick up my wireless internet. problem is when i choose my network to connect to it constantly says "acquring network address". But as soon as i plug in an ethernet cable from the router the wireless starts working and i just unplug the ethernet cble. So why does my wireelss card depend on my ethernet conenction?

Basically I want to know what would be a good wireless card to get for the Dir-655 router.Also how do USB wireless card compare, is there a big performance difference

I've had this modem set up for over 6 months and this just happened out of the blue. I had no connection to the internet, and the lights on LAN 1 and 3 were lit (only LAN 1 is in use.) I think I went about this the wrong way because now the LAN lights won't light up at all, and the internet light is always yellow. I know it's not the ISP because well I'm writing this post with my modem plugged directly into the PC.
When I try to reinstall the router using the CD I get an error message stating that the Ethernet cable probably isn't plugged in, although it is, as I followed each step exactly.
Now when I try to plug in the PC to the router I can't access the router webpage, and device manager is showing an Ethernet controller with a yellow exclamation mark under other devices. I don't even know where to start.
HW: C1
FW: I resetted the modem in an attempt to get this working again, so I imagine it's at the default now. Besides I can't access the router page anyways.
Region: NA - Canada
Wired Connection
Factory reset: Yes
ISP: Shaw (Cable)
Modem: Motorolas SB5102 - no built in router

Is there a difference in an ethernet cable and an Ethernet networking cable? I have an Ethernet cable and a 6 port splitter I am trying to connect. I have 4 ports in the router that are in use. When I connect them to the splitter nothing s working.

I have just replaced a wbr-1310 with a dir-601. I can connect with an Ethernet cable, but not wireless. I have comcast cable with a Motorola surfboard modem. I was able to connect with the wbr-1310 with this setup.

Here you can find, what I have to do to connect through Ethernet cable to the internet at our university:[url]....
When I set auto-detect IP on router, it says that I have Static IP. In CMD I can find out all the information about the connection and the licence is usually for one day (automatically renewing). I've also tried to clone MAC address, nothing happened.

I have cable internet with time warner, who provided me with a basic ambit modem. It works if I connect it directly with my PC. But if I try to route the connection through my netgear router (eg. connect modem -> router -> PC), I don't get internet access. The troubleshooting tool tells me that "DNS server isn't responding".

I am having a problem with my Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. It is not detecting my ethernet cable, and thus leaving me without internet on my desktop, after i updated its driver. The cable is not the problem as I have tested the cable with my laptop. I tried rolling back drivers, doing system restore and removing drivers with driversweeper and letting windows install the drivers again. However, none of these worked for me. I doubt the NIC is faulty as it was working before i updated the drivers. I am using windows 7 home premium 64-bit.

Yesterday I was on my cousin's computer, and we had to remove the ethernet cord to connect it to mine as my wireless adapter wasn't cooperating with his internet. This was all fine and dandy until we had to plug the ethernet cord back into his computer. It locks everything up. If you try to open a program, it won't open. If a program is already open when the cord is plugged in, it stops responding within 15 seconds.I called my brother, and he suggested I run a virus scan via Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes, which I did. MalwareBytes found 5 problems, MSE found 1 additional one. They have all been removed, however this problem still persists. If you try to start the computer with the ethernet cord plugged in, it will allow him to put in his password, it will say welcome for about 3-5 minutes, then the screen will go black. The mouse is visible, doing it's motion to indicate that it's loading something, but it never achieves anything.

I have a WAG160N wireless gateway . Yesterday when i tried to power it on after a couple of seconds the power led was solid green and the Ethernet leds were blinking with no Ethernet cable attached to the router . The ethernet leds would keep blinking for minutes . I tried to use a screwdriver to do a hardware reset ( with power on ) and i noticed that the power led would start blinking green/red for minutes . I tried to use another wired router which i have for backup and it could connect to the internet normally without a problem.
What the green / red blinking power led means ( power led is green and then changes to red and then it starts over ) ?

I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista 32 bit. When i plug in a cable i get nothing, no error, and the comp does not recognize that a cable has been plugged in. I think that this started after my Hard drive failed and Dell replaced it but i'm not positive. No errors (? or !) in Device Manager and I can't find the Marvell 88E80XX 10/100 Ethernet Controller in device manager. I have attempted to Reinstall the drivers. The wireless is still working. I have one Light to the right of the port that is on all the time solid but no flashing with the cable in or out.

I get the message "dns server isn't responding" several times per day. If i get the message, nothing can get through to the internet (smartphones, laptop, vita, friends smartphones, etc.) If i reset the router, i can access the web again. Or if i wait for 2 minutes.
This is my setup:
Cable modem connects to D-link 615. Laptop is connected with a cable in D-link 615. All my wireless stuff is connected via wireless D-link 615. My cable modem is also connected directly to my ps3. I'm running windows 7 on my laptop.

I recently acquired a new mobo to tide me over until I can get the spare money to order a new one (which probably won't be until after the first of the year) however, the board, while better than what I had, has some problems hence why I got it so "cheaply". The problems I had with it have been fixable/liveable with. Anyways, here's a description of my problem and some brief applicable system specs.
The ethernet port on this board was bad, knew that from purchase date. However I ordered a brand new card (10/100MB NIC PCI Ethernet Card), installed it, and the drivers all loaded, and the card is listed as working properly. I have no internet connection or network connection even listed. The way my system runs is as follows.
Computer/Ethernet Card -> Cat5 -> ASUS Router -> Cat6 -> ISP Router -> Outside
I have tried hard lining it direct from the ISP Router as well to no avail.I've even tried using the ipconfig.exe commands. Including /release, /flushdns, /renew. But, whenever I open the DOS panel with the command it just disappears in a millisecond.I know the PCI port on the board isn't bad because I literally just removed my USB expansion card from it to install this one. I even tried switching it with the other 2 PCI cards I have installed and they all work perfectly so it's not the PCI slot.

I've never had a router or network in my place and I've just bought a DIR-825. I previously had a DIR-615? but returned it because I was having this problem. Now I'm still having it with the 825.When I use IE or Mozilla Firefox(preferred) I can usually navigate 2-3 pages before the program stalls and goes (Not Responding) for about 15-20 seconds before it starts going again. Then it repeats again in about another 3-4 pages or so.
I've got the times set for my router and I'm using Firmware 2.03NA-RevB

I decided to buy myself a DIR-615 Wireless N 300 Router, its wireless performance is thus far very stable and strong. This router factory firmware loaded is 5.10 HW: E3.I never use Router features like SPI and DoS Protection, and I always use DMZ for unrestricted filtering, I use a software firewall for protection and monitoring traversing packets.
The problem is, D-Link does limited filtering over DMZ, I�m not use to seeing this with other popular router brands, I�m not happy with this implementation of DMZ. Now what�s worse, the Router (not the computer set on DMZ) itself is responding to different TCP stealth scans like TCP NULL, XMAS, FIN.How to correct this without enabling protections like SPI, so the Router won�t respond nor drop these types of packets when a computer is set on DMZ.

I bought a new DIR-615 and tried to install dd-wrt on it. During the installation all of a sudden the router stopped blinking the led lights and stopped responding to anything. It's current status is that I can only see globe LED and the other 4 LAN LEDs in continuous green and NOT blinking. The power LED and wireless LED are not even displaying. I tried all kinds of reset like soft,hard and crash but no response. It's not responding to anything except those 5 LED lights.

I have a DIR-615 that is not responding to hard resets. It was working fine for about a week and then stopped handing out IP's to wireless clients. I attempted a power cycle and when the router came back up the wireless light was no longer on and it was no longer handing out IP's to Ethernet clients. The power light is solid, internet light lights up when connected to my modem and flashes intermittently, and the Ethernet lights light up in response to connecting clients. I have attempted to hard reset the router to no avail. I also tried statically assigning 192. 168. 0.120 to my NIC to see if I could access the router config but that doesn't work either. It's almost as if the default ip address and range for the LAN on my router have changed and DHCP was turned off.

For the last several months, but progressively worse, my internet drops due to the DNS Server not responding. This happens across my whole network and the only fix I can come up with is to reset the router every time it does this. At this point I am thinking a new router is in order (but do not have the money atm), I am using a D-Link DIR-625 V. C1 Firmware 3.08 router and a Motorola SB6120 modem. Is there another permanent fix for this problem is or my router on it's last legs? Would setting a new DNS Server on my router work?

I've been having some problems with my Ethernet connection lately.The problem started early last week. I'm currently relocating, so I unplugged my laptop from the Ethernet connection I had at my old place.At two different locales, I have tried to use an Ethernet connection in order to get better speed (the wireless at the first locale was non-existent and at the second it is extremely slow in my room). I have done so with two separate cables that I have tested on others' computers and found that they are perfectly fine. That, of course, leads me to believe that it is my computer and is either a hardware or software problem (here's hoping it's the latter).Anyway, my laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1720 (purchased in 2006). About a year ago, I updated to Windows 7 from the pre-installed Vista. Never had any problems (as I said, everything was fine up until about a week ago). The installed card is a Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller. Everything under Device Manager indicates that the hardware is working properly and has all of its drivers installed, but nothing is working.I have tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers (albeit by allowing windows to find them automatically), but the result is the exact same.I have checked the port and found that there is no debris or obstructions. My computer hasn't been dropped or mishandled in any way.

I have the following problem. I bought two TP-LINK TG-3269 gigabit cards, placed them in two computers and connected them directly. On my Ubuntu system I used iperf tool and measured only 95 Mbit/s. It wont go any faster, I tried many times with different settings.
The indicator lamp shows 1000 Mbit/s.

As of around a week ago, I've been experiencing a strange thing with my internet connection. I live in apartments that provide internet to everyone that lives there, and had been living here for a few months before this started happening.I now constantly have my internet crashing in the middle of browsing/gaming. I will either open up my laptop to the internet not working already, or it will work, but crash randomly while I am using it.
Trying to load a page on google chrome, it will show a message saying DNS Lookup Failed, and an icon will pop up in the right corner of my screen with a yellow (!) triangle. If I hover over it, it will say no internet access.I've followed the few steps they had on there, but none of them worked. I've never had a problem like this before, and haven't made any modifications to anything on my computer lately, so I am pretty confused as to why this is happening. I know it is something on my end, because my roommate's internet is just fine, and even used my ethernet cord on her computer, and no problems at all.
