I've had my PC containing a P4C800-E Deluxe connected to my Netgear gigabit switch for over a year. Last week, I suddenly lost network connectivity. More specifically, I lost the ability to communicate over the network when plugged into the gigabit switch. Thinking at first something happened to the switch, I plugged it directly into my 10/100 router and it was fine. I then proceded to do some troubleshooting, including the following:
Tried all 4 gigabit ports-link light comes on, no network connectivity
Changed cables
Checked driver was latest version (it is)
Changed from Auto/Auto to 1000/Full
I thought it had to be a problem with my gigabit switch, but I have 2 other PCs using it with no problems (they both work at 1000 full on all ports). Nothing I do will get this motherboard's Pro1000 port connecting at gigabit. Any suggestions? Anything I've missed? Nothing was changed on this PC by the way.
