Computer probably got an pdate for the NIC that tweaked the driver.

Do your radios have Ethernet statistics? You could connect the PC back to the 
radio and watch the stats to see if the Ethernet Interface is flapping. Then 
force the radio to 10HDX and see if the flapping stops.

Subject: [WISPA] computer won't connect to radio

OK, here's a good one.

Have a long term customer that can't get internet all of the sudden.

Shows no cable plugged into his computer.

Had him try a laptop, it worked fine.

Next had him take his computer to a repair shop for a new nic card.  His 
computer DID work in town though.

Back home, it wouldn't work with the radio.

So I went out there to check this out.  My laptop would work just fine.  His 
desktop wouldn't.

I ended up installing a router and all is working nicely now.  His computer 
will talk to the router, but going right to the radio we show no cable 
connected.

Anyone seen this before?

I assume this is being caused by some kind of voltage miss match that the 
other devices aren't as sensitive to?
