Yeah, I've just ordered 10 replacements, turns out there were two more that I didn't know about this morning, different types of pc to the first two. Must be the power thing.

Jon, It seems that net cards are very sensitive to power loss lately. Unfortunately they don't just die, they struggle along working improperly for weeks. I don't keep "inventory" parts but I actually have a stock of Ethernet cards on hand because of this.

Hi all, got a bit of a strange one... we had a power cut here on Saturday, and everything has come up again except two pc's... they're both exactly the same model (Compaq Evo D310) and both network cards are insisting that the network cables are unplugged, when they definitely aren't. I've checked the cables from pc to port, port to switch etc... the activity and connection lights on the cards themselves are both working. I've downloaded drivers for them, removed them from device manager and reinstalled the cards, but they still say that the cables are unplugged. They're the only two pc's of that model in the building, and it seems a little odd that they're the only ones with any problems. I've tried different cables and different ports, but the it still says the cables are unplugged... I need new cards don't I?
