Check to see if you have the network card bound to TCP/IP. Once you bind your network card to a protocol then the lights should come on.

When I unplug the cable, the icon knows that the cable is unplugged. When the cable is plugged in, and I double click on the icon, it tries to get an IP address, but fails after a while. I have tested 2 other computers on the same CAT5 cable, and they both grabbed an IP address right away. --- In [email protected], "Jimm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > jimgraves > > > >I just purchased a business that has a Dell Dimension 8200 with an > > aftermarket PCI NIC card.
