LAN problem.

Hello

i cant figure out whats wrong with my friends laptop
she is using a toshiba satellite M100.
but she cant connect to the LAN Network.

everytime you plug it to the LAN
it will show "acquiring network address" & its connected for few seconds before being disconnected .. showing the message "network connection unplugged"

sometimes before even showing the status connected, it shows network connection unplugged.

cable is fine, port is fine.. i've tested using my laptop & the same cable. no problem

the laptop comes with Intel PRO/100 VM
i cant find any driver updates for it.

do you think it does not work with Cisco systems or something like that ?

Try turning off the auto-sensing LAN speed detection.. somewhere under the LAN adapter properties... try setting it to 10 or 100Mbps manually instead of auto..

Turn off firewalls.. check DHCP is configured correctly

yeah it could be the laptop's LAN port

I donno how your system work over there but over here we need to register our hardware address to our system wan maybe she needs to do that

Otherwise just call resnet

no problem ... but the funny thing is her pc disconnects ... wondering how is it now
