Re: Oh yay, another driver issue.

Confirmed. It is the network cable.
All but two of the wires have a resistance above 1000 ohms. It's not enough to make the system and switch think there is nothing connected but it was enough that whatever passed through the lines never made it from point A to point B.
Looks like It's finally time to invest in a spool of decent cable and a connector kit. I'm running at least a half dozen different types and brands of network cable as it is and the mice have done a number on all of them so there's splices all over the place.

Mice? You GONNA have to find all the openings and repair them. And keep food sources away. I have this same issues at my tv shop, once in awhile when first frost hits. I kill-trap them with snap traps. Usually every 2 years or so.

Be careful with droppings and urine. Yes, spool of cable and plugs, GOOD tool to crimp/cut and prep with.

Re: Oh yay, another driver issue.

only rodents in my house are my pet rats. most of my lan cables die when the plug clips break.

glad that was the problem.

Re: Oh yay, another driver issue.

No, the mice problem was two years ago, otherwise I would of been a bit more concerned.
Lol, a good majority of my clips came off years ago and the cables are now held in place by tape.
