[BC] Networking question:

[Gordon Carter]

I had a similar situation happen a few weeks ago and I'm still trying to
figure it out.

We replaced an older computer with a new one, and moved the old one to
another location.  After moving it I tested it to make sure it worked
OK.  This system is all DHCP.

Turned off the computer and called it a day.  When a user tried to log
on, we got the same results.  So far I have tried deleting and
reinstalling the NIC (on-board), different network cable, different
switch port, and replaced the NIC with another one.  Same results every
time.

If you figure this out, I'll be interested to know what it is.  I was
even suspicious of a Windows update that messed it up, but there were
none applied in that intervening time.

over to
another computer.  Everything looked good on the workbench; I could

to the internet, etc.  But when I put it back in the control room it
won't
connect to the network.  No servers, no internet, nothing.  All I get is
"Limited or no connectability."   The router shows a light when it is
plugged in, and it goes out when I unplug the cable.  Running Network
Setup
Wizard doesn't get me anywhere.  It's like it's giving me the wrong IP
address.  What am I doing wrong here?  Any input would be appreciated.<<

Bad cable or bad hub/switch port.
