Can you believe it!!!
Brand new Quad core Lenovo box, built an image with XP, sp3 office, nod etc, all the work apps...all good....
copied the image down to 2nd unit okay, removed from network, renamed pc, removed windows update id, reboot, join network okay, all good....
3rd unit.....couldnt join network after reboot as it couldnt find the DC....???
say what?....ping test, lost 75% of pings....!!!
Tried clean install of Vista.....no go!, windows 7, no go!!!...what has happened to the NIC?
further info.....
I can ping itself on 127.0.0.1......both the link and data led are working....it receives DHCP address okay....
I think it has something to do with NAP and option 43 on DHCP, however we are on a 2003 domain and option 43 isnt selected on the DHCP server....the other 2 unit are running okay also....
I have naffed 2 NIC's on my other desktop pc after service packing to SP3....was hoping it was just my pc, however it appears not.....!
It gets more interesting.....
I have 2 DES 3028 switches connected via (Teamed) 1gb ports to a gigabyte backbone DGS-1216T, which has a DGS-1224T connected via fibre, and the gateway comes off the backbone.
Now I have been trying to ping the gateway, however if I ping either of the DES's it work 100%, as soon as I try the backbone or the switch on the fibre, it fails......nothing is getting passed the backbone on this NIC!!....
finally
Lenovo is coming today to swap out the mobo etc with on-board NIC for a new board which will have a new NIC MAC #.
The interesting part is, after 3 different o/s and a failure to ping passed the 1st of any switch the pc is attached to, I currently have x64 Vista with a VM running perfectly well and are in fact writing this from the VM inside x64 while the host is unable to function correctly.....
I guess it is safe to say the NIC is not broken, I have no idea why it wont work on our network when 2 others are, but the VM does?....
Network guru's.....is this a D-Link Switch issue, I am totally lost to explain what is going on!!
