I had comcast cable innernets access installed last week. There's about 150' of technician-made cat-5 cable run from the modem, through the basement, to my machine. It works great when connecting those two. When I put a router (DLink DI-824 VUP) in bewteen them, however, I get a limited connection that can't pull an IP address. I can configure the router from my machine just fine, updated the firmware, called DLink support, etc. So as I'm swapping the cables back and forth, I noticed the cat-5 has a couple of solid colored wires next to each other. I have now found the correct pattern and will fix the plug on that end (maybe on both) but here's my question:
If it is the cat-5, why does it work so well connecting to my network card?
Making short questions long, Matt.
