Have you tried any other network cables - sounds like a distance issue, but
could also easily be a bad cable.

Subject: Regarding negotiations [7:5380]
Hi
I have catalyst 5000 series switch ....
the problem is when i connect a laptop or pc to it with a small length cable
say 10-20 feet ..i can talk to it with my settings of duplex as auto-select
and speed as auto-select both the settings are of network card i am using
....( i am using xircom pc card and 3com pc card for the laptops )
but when the length is increased say 50-70 feet i cann't talk to it anymore
and it shows blinking lights on the switch side which i think it means
negotiations problem....so i set my laptop or pc to duplex full and speed to
10mbps then i am only able to talk to it .....no other mode is working
..both this settings are on the workstations side .
Can anyone explain what the problem is or what is wrong somewhere .
Regards
Arun Sharma
