Put a cable tester on it - all check out ok.

Test the cabling =96 that sounds exactly what you get when you have pins 1
=
and
2 wired correctly, but pins 3 and 6 are on separate pairs.

Individual NICs have a greater or lesser tolerance for this.

This happens if you use an ISDN patch lead (so, all wired straight through)
or a fubar=92ed patch lead with the colours not done correctly.

I'm having an absolute mare getting a Dell Poweredge SC420 (one of their =
=A399
servers) to connect to our network.

I know a few people bought them here and wondered how they got on.

We have one already that was full price this is on network ok - but the new
one just wont connect the link lights on the back are on - though i've
noticed its one yellow and one red - is this correct ???

The existing server is the same and a Dell Optiplex SX280 is the same - but
all other PCs/Dells are one yellow and one green.

All these machines have Broadcom Gigabit ethernet on board adaptors.

The new one just keeps saying limited or no connection - on the switch the
10/100 and FDX/COL lights are illuminated so im sure this means its on

Any suggestions greatly appreciated - i tried new cables new ports on the
switch etc., but the bugger just will not connect.

Dean.
