noping Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hi, I have a D-Link DMF-560TXD pcmcia 10/100 nic for my laptop. I have win98se and winxp installed on the laptop In win98se the card works fine but in windows xp, although the card is automaticly recognized, no matter what i do, i keeps saying "A network cable is unplugged" even if i directly plug into cable modem or use hub. Any idea.. What does winXP do differently, requires particular cable.. I currently use CAT 5. Thank you much. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grookes Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) A thread brought back from the dead! Any new info on this? Dlink doesn't support this hardware any more, but I bought one on ebay for an old laptop that now has XP Pro installed. Their website makes it sound like it works with XP, but whenever I put in the network cable, my laptop says "network cable is unplugged." That same network cable works on my other laptop. Any solutions found? (Installed on a Thinkpad 600.) edit: All three lights on the DLink PC card light up great - link is solid green, 10/100 solid orange, and activity blinks green as expected. For all intensive purposes, the thing looks like it works, but won't let me connect to anything. My TCP/IP settings are right (and for that matter the settings are identical to another PC card that works in the same machine - the old connector is just broken on one side and is ready to break off completely. Thus the replacement.) Edited June 28, 2005 by grookes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grookes Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 ba-bump. When I initially put the PC card in my computer with no network cable plugged in, it says it has a limited connection....but a connection none-the-less. When I plug in the cable, it says "a network cable has been disconnected." When I unplug it, no update to the message - still "disconnected." Already contacted D-Link - they won't support it even though I bought the thing last week. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
