- WinXP, SP3. NIC: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet.
- Wired to D-Link DI-524, 'AirPlus G' 802.11g 2.4Ghz wireless router (wireless not used) - LAN addresses are assigned by the router. (192.168.0.x) - At the times in question, only this PC is active on the LAN. Event viewer (system events) shows: 2-3 times per day, one of these records: " The netcard driver failed the query for OID_GEN_LINK_SPEED. " or " Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card ... .... Immediately followed by the record: " The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{..} was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over thenetwork adapter. Question: Are these something that needs fixing, or just one of those "Yeah, it does that" things? I'm not seeing any overt problems associated with these events. Thanks. - |

Thanks. - To me it sounds like your connection at the higher 100 Mb/s speed is marginal either due to cable quality or perhaps a long cable run. To test this theory, manually set your NIC to run at the slower 10 Mb/s speed and see if your errors go away. To do this, bring up the device manager: Start - Run - "devmgmt.msc" then double-click on your network adapter card, click the "Advanced" tab, and look for a "Link Speed and Duplex" (or similar) and click on it. The setting is usually set to "Auto". Try changing this setting to 10 Mb/s FULL and see if your problems disappear. HTH, John |
