network card kills the hdmi card

well, I had a lightening strike nearby which killed my hdmi card. I replaced that and discovered I also killed my network card. I had a spare network card but when I plug it in the new hdmi card is killed. This means the network card is bad? Caveat- I'm probably going to need to replace the entir

Re: network card kills the hdmi card

This can mean the Nic is bad, but more than likely it may just be upset at the slot location. If you have alternate slots i would try using those. >From there I would also in bios turn of the onbaord nic as best you can and see if that helps as well when you put the nic in there. On Mon, Jun 13, 2

yep I went into bios. disabled the onboard NIC and everything worked again until I have the next failure! next failure means replace computer! On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 10:22 AM, Stephen Partington wrote: > This can mean the Nic is bad, but more than likely it may just be upset at > the sl

It just started to thunder so I unplugged the computer not on the ups. Should I also disconnect the NIC. I woyuld think that with it unplugged that would be kill all electric circuits so there is nowhere for a surge to go. But it's me... what the hell do I know :?) -- :-)~MIKE~(-: ---

Network question/problem

I have an old actiontech modem/router. I want to run from my modem to the UPS to it and from there to the two computers (I just figured this out ) so the NIC cards of the two computers are protected. Anyways, the network icon indicates there is connection and the info window that tells you if you a

If your NIC is plugged into something that is plugged in then I would unplug it too just to make sure. Surges can definitely go through Ethernet cables. Brian Cluff On 06/13/2016 04:29 PM, Michael wrote: It just started to thunder so I unplugged the computer not on the ups. Should I also dis

If I remember correctly it is going from one network to the 102.x.y.z and you need to do something. But I don't know what or if i'm even right! On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:19 PM, Michael wrote: > $ ifconfig > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6c:f0:49:02:01:01 > inet addr:192.168.0.2

Re: Network question/problem

I suspect the actiontech is a dsl modem so you may have two modems in line both with firewalls and routers please list the model of the last one in the system you may be able to turn it into a switch On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 6:19 PM, Michael wrote: > $ ifconfig > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HW

Did you try reversing dhcp? You should be getting dhcp from your main router now. What address space does the main router use, 192.168.1.x? On Jun 13, 2016 6:49 PM, "Michael" wrote: > same thing: I'm connected but not really. > > > On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:32 PM, Brien Dieterle wrote: > >> Tr

Re: Network question/problem

I noticed your IP is 192.168.0.2. Is that a static address? It doesn't sound like a normal dhcp address. 192.168.0.1 is your actiontec, right? If your main router is also 192.168.0.1, you have to change one of them, but I suspect your main router is 192.168.1.1 and you are not using dhcp on your
