Steve here,
I've been having troubles with my network card(s). I have one onboard (1) VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter and a newly installed (2) Realtek RTL8139 FAMILY PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. I'm living in my college dorm and cannot connect to their network.
Problem:
The network cards both hang at the attempting to authenticate status.
I've tried everything on the (1) adapter but it would always hang at the "attempting to authenticate" status. When I first plug the ethernet wire into the port, the icon in the bottom right tells me I need to enter my credentials, so I click the balloon and the box pops up and I enter my credentials. Normally a balloon then should pop up over the icon in the bottom right and prompt me to send my certificate. That balloon never pops up. Rather the Local Area Connection icon completely disappears from the taskbar. I open Network Connections through the start button and it shows me that the connection is attempting to authenticate. I've left it for hours and no change.
The only thing that happens once every few minutes, is the Local Area Connection icon pops back to tell me there is limited or no connectivity but is gone within a fraction of a second. (I only know it's that icon because I can get a glimpse of the familiar yellow sign with the exclamation point in front of it.)
The above symptoms are consistent with both network cards.
I think it may be something wrong with windows xp because I have installed a wireless Linksys network card and CAN connect to the wireless network on campus. I have been issued a laptop here and have copied the settings completely for the laptop's wired connection. The laptop can connect when wired in but my pc cannot under the same settings.
So so far I have.
Laptop:
Wireless - Works
Wired - Works
PC:
Wireless - Works
Wired1 - Doesn't Work
Wired2 - Doesn't Work
I'm getting desperate, the tech department here doesn't care, because it's not a school issued computer.
I am currently running Windows XP Service Pack 2
PS. From what I recall the connection did at one time work before I installed SP2, But when I updated to SP2 the network card no longer worked... I recently tried recommended Hotfix 885453 but i didn't see any changes in behavior...
