Maybe you need a cross over cable and are using a straight through cable. Check the link lights on the cable modem (labeled PC usually) and your ethernet card. They should light as long as the link is established hardwrtae wise and there is power at both ends.
Is the other machine being cabled the exact same way with these cables? Or do you know they work because you tried them somewhere else where the cable was used to connect a pc to a hub or switch? Is the ethernet port on the cable modem a 10 MBPS port, the ethernet card in the working PC a 10/100 card and this card only a 100? in other words, could you have a port speed mismatch in some fashion even if you have LINK. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ken Plumley > Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 2:23 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Ethernet & DHCP Fails on Cable Modem to Internet > > > Jason, > > When I set eth0 to activate automatically then restart > the network it fails with the following message: > > Deternining IP information for eth0... failed: no link > present.
