That site does have a solution, (uninstalling your NIC drivers and re-installing them), but that did not work for me, leading me to believe that the problem is far less simple than that.
I have been to another site, and asked my admin @ school here, with 30 some years of experience and he cannot figure it out either. PLEASE, if anyone comes up with a solution, either PM me, post, or e-mail. It is really bothering me that nobody knows what the problem is.
