[dba-Tech] Puzzling network issue

Good idea. I'll check the MAC list.

Its an onboard NIC so I couldn't swap it but it works with everything else.
I think I'll turn that one off and stick a new PCI NIC in and see if that
solves the problem. 

Thanks

Probably depends on the router. I'd check that there weren't any entries in
the MAC address list, just in case the on/off switch wasn't working :-)

Have you got another pc you can put that network card in to prove that's not
the problem?

That's a good thought. I did check to make sure the router didn't have MAC
Address filtering turned on. I just trusted that if it wasn't turned on it
wasn't doing it, is there any way to check other than that? Does it sound
like I'm getting paranoid? ;o)

Have you checked that the router isn't doing something clever with MAC
addresses, and blocking it?
