Hello there. I'll get straight to the point.
My NIC's LEDS (green and yellow) are flashing simultaneously, and neither Windows nor Linux can detect network connection. On WinXP though for a sec there it shows as if it was acquiring network address. I know for sure that the cable is OK, I'm using it right now as i type. The problem is on my notebook, Acer Aspire 3630. Windows XP SP2 fresh installation... I've tried Knoppix, Ubuntu Live CDs to check whether the problem was with windows.
any suggestions?
Thanks!
edit:
it happened after i've reinstalled windows. strange, isn't it? well... maybe it doesn't have anything to do with it.
don't remember dropping or damaging the notebook in anyway...
my internet connection is through a local gateway, the IP addresses are assigned by DHCP
