Very weird network problem.
Ethernet is plugged into ethernet, yet the icon tray has red "x" and says "Local area connection 3 cable is unplugged.
Then, when I go into network connections folder, it is indeed uplugged, and "Ethernet" is plugged.
I'm on the Internet, no problem.
NOW, run the network wizard to join the home workgroup, and I'm told Ethernet 3 is uplugged and that I must plug it in! It doesn't see Ethernet at all. (no idea why there is E and E3, but no E2, but that's probably a non-issue).
Hold on, cause this is where it gets really weird.
Switch the plug, and guess what happens.
Give up?
It tells me Ethernet is unplugged and I must plug it in!
Okay, so you don't think that's weird at all huh? Well, follow me on this one:
I thought I'd be tricky and run the Wizard then switch the plug while the wizard was open. I'm pretty smart you know...
Well I be flipped if the stinkin' Wizard ain't smarter than me. It KNEW I switched 'em and said the other one was unplugged again!
I'm guessing this is some kind of driver conflict??
I know. I'm gonna put the thing to sleep, then sneak down later and swith 'em again. Maybe I can wake it up so fast it won't know what hit it.
Has anyone ever heard of this one?
What can be done?
