I have Verizon DSL, first off. Recently we were hit by lightning some how, and it took out our old modem (Westell wireless router/modem). Now they sent me a new Actiontec wireless modem/router, which seems to work fine.. for wireless. Now I have the Asus A8N32 motherboard, and for the longest time my ethernet port was always fine. But out of no where, I suddenly started getting "Device cannot be started" error. I reinstalled drivers, etc. Nothing worked. So I just purchased a new NIC card, and that solved that issue.
Now, the problem I have now is the cable is not being picked up my router or the new network card. Does this mean the wire is bad? This is wire that I crimped myself, that has been working for years now.
The new modem does not pick up my ethernet cable at all, none of the lights come on when it is plugged in. Is my new modem bad or would it be my wire? I hopefully can test this tomorrow. I have been connecting to the internet through my tethered Samsung Omnia phone! The download/upload is 80/70KBps, which isn't bad, but its slow!
