Ok, here is the problem. I came home late last night to find my PC hung (I'm the gateway out). So I reboot and all is well, when I go to restart my SETI on my wifes PC it won't connect to the internet. I also can't connect on my p200. But my computer can connect. Does that make sence so far.
now here is how it is configured. We have cable and it goes from the modem to my PC, then from my PC to a 8 port switch and the other two PCs connect to it also. So my PC is the one that feeds the other PCs so when my connection goes down everyone is SOL. I think that the NIC that goes back to the switch is bad. As my PC gets onto the internet fine.
Could one NIC in my PC be bad? I also wonder if it is an overclock problem. My machine is a PIII 700 that I had runing a FSB of 120. The pci was at 1/3 so they were getting 40 instesd of 33mhz. It ran fine like that for over a week then I turned it up to 124FSB but took the PCI to 1/4 which puts the PCI at 31mhz. It ran like that for about 4 days and now this happens. could I have burned it out. The NIC that is working is a Intel 10/100 pro and the one in question is a realtek 10/100.
Can I test the NIC? Is there a diagnostic program I can run?
