LAN problem. - Page 3

she has been calling / visitting them for couple of times

i think WiFi will work.

but the funny thing is the laptop connects without problem in CIT i think

maybe they connect directly to a router.

Might want to check if her computer is registered as a host in the dorm system. At least that is how it works here

registered as a host ?

so i should change the computer's name ?

No no, over here we have a system where we will only allow internet access if the host is registered to our servers. So if you have that kind of system where you need to register the hardware address to get an ip you should find out

boohoohoo!~ no one can help ?

anyway, i've formatted that laptop & the network still doesnt connect to the dorm network at 100Mbps
it always show connection is unplugged.

it only connects at 10Mbps & the performance is sluggish

i tried connecting it to my laptop & i dont have problem connecting at 100Mbps

do you think i should try using a crossover cable to connect to the dorm ?

if it doesnt work, whats the cheapest solution to this problem?

buy a switch? or a cardbus ethernet?

I'd say it's the integrated LAN ...
Try using a card instead (maybe some fren got one just for testing).

no, dont recall anyfriend using cardbus

i'm considering this solution for my friend:

buy a cheap network switch, plug her laptop to it & the wall LAN jack to the network switch

I dun get why the connection should work over a switch
when it's not working directly ...
But ok, you decide. ^^

i'm not sure if the dorm switches has some conflict with the network adapter on the laptop

if i'm not wrong it works on other switch/router but no on dorm's wall jacks

But you've said it's working with yours ... or am I wrong?

Ed.: Ok, my fault, so try a switch then. ^^
