im a uni student in the uk, trying to connect my pc to the uni network. we are given standard wires which work for everyone else, and mine is not faulty as it is tested. my ethernet card is also not the problem as it is the 3rd one i have tried.
it works liek this, the port in my room has to be opened, which it has. i have tried my pc in my flatmates port, who has working internet and get the same error.
the problem is that whenever i try to enable the lan connection, i get an error of 'a network cable is unplugged'. the light on the ethernet card is on, and the error flashes, suggesting the pc can detect the card for a split second every couple of seconds.
i went to the it guy on campus, he doesnt know what the problem is, (it expert my ass).
does anyone know a solution, or give me a list of things to try out? thanks in advance.
