This wasn't obvious for me! Thanks for the answer!
When I set the media by hand it showed 'active', but no data could
be transmitted
(yellow link diode on switch, not blinking). I then pulled the
switch with my home
lan from the wall and plugged my re0 instead - It worked!
So this seems to be the %$R#(@%*$ switch issue. The funny thing is,
that with media
set manually (or sometimes with autoselect) everything works fine
with this switch
(i have used it all day yesterday till evening without problem).
Now, when i wait
some time with media manually set, it starts transmitting data and
everything works fine.
Why does it happen? Why is it so unpredictible? Can it be fixed in software,
or should i throw the switch out the window and by a new one?
I may be replying to the wrong thread, but if I remember a previous
post, this is for a realtek gig-e card going to a gig-e switch...
Just another obvious point but you are using either Cat-5e or Cat-6
cables, right? Just thought I'd offer another obvious suggestion. :)
