Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection Issue

The problem: My wired connection is non-existent. In this video, it attempts to connect, but drops, attempts, and drops, etc, etc.

My attempted resolutions:
Connect laptop directly to cable modem: Failed

Connecting brothers Dell laptop to same cable as used by the laptop, the Dell found the wired network and connected properly.

Updating drivers/computer: Failed

Live boot of Ubuntu: Failed

Took apart laptop to check for anything disconnected within computer hardware: Failed - Wiggled cable in computer jack: Failed

I'm chalking this up to a failed part on the motherboard...

My laptop: Toshiba A105-S4024

I have this same problem on a desktop motherboard. Could never get this Intel PRO100/VE to work.

You can try forcing the link speed to 10Mbps half-duplex on properties of the network adapter. Maybe it will maintain a connection.

I tried that. It ultimatly came down to a hardware issue, the card it self fried. The last test I tried was a live boot of linux and I still had the problem... lame. Stupid laptops

Try another internet connection. I get that a lot when the modem fails. My card works perfectly with an outdated driver. It doesn't even have all the tabs you have. It came along with my regular drivers.

I tried that one as well. Brought it into work and still no luck. The outdated drivers is a great idea, however, Linux would of taken care of any driver issuse on the soft install. Fairly certian I've fried the thing.

Yeah, looks like it's the card itself as you concluded. Luckily, replacements are fairly inexpensive on ebay.
