Just go to Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Realtek RTL8139 NIC (example).

There should be an Advanced tab. In there, you should be able to change Link Speed or Link Mode. Change it to 100 Full Mode or something like that.

BTW, you can also try updating the router's firmware. Whether it works or not, is another matter altogether.

But it should clear up some bugs and maybe include some improvements.

Eldanor · 1st Nov 2005, 04:21 PM

LOL! For that, you will need to consult your router manufacturer.

But basically, you need to download the latest firmware from their website, log into the router and use the included flash utility to upgrade the firmware.

Then after that is done, power off the router and back on again. Your router will be using the new firmware.

LOL!! As long as it's a happy ending!

But if possible, do let us know what the problem really was and the solution. Always great to learn something new.
