What O/S?  The embedded network card worked fine for me with

cheap network cards lying around, I just stuck one of them in and all was

Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] Network link lights




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.
