the other side is a managed switch. but i also plugged out the switch several times.DutchDaemon said:By the way: what's at the other end of this connection? Is it a managed switch, and if so, can you check e.g. whether the switch port has been shut down due to errors. Can you plug the cable into a different switch port, etc?
yes I did that, but i had no luck, so the best and quickest way was to install new NIC.ruaoh said:Have you tried reconfiguring the NIC with "sysinstall"?
Configure -> Networking -> Interfaces...
Also, if the switch port is not set to auto-detect speed/duplex, refer to this thread for help.
