Hi Michael, Switch and cables are fine. And when booting the PC normally, it joins the network and has full network access.. Additionally, when this problem appeared on this one PC, switches were bypassed but the problem remained..
As for the Realtek card, it is the 8100 chipset, which is the successor tothe 8139 and compatible. Infact I have several of these card in other machines, and all use the 8139 driver. I included its full information as it was the last card installed. The problems also occurred with the 3Com NIC (which is also the same make/model as used in another PC which does work)..
