I recently went to a friends house to mess around on some computer games on the internet. Upon arriving there with my tower i plugged into his hub that he had recently purchased. After booting up my computer i discoverd that i had ethernet but i had no ip address assigned. So i rebooted and changed cables just to be sure. That didnt work so i messed around trying to find a way to fix it discovering none. I also tryed putting in a alternate ethernet card then the one built in one and hooked up to the same hub. I eventully fixed it by re-installing the software on my built in ethernet card and by passing the hub it self. A few days later the hub was used again and another computer had the same issue and ended up having to re-install the drivers like i did. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I was thinking that the hub we are using has a port with some serious issues or the whole thing it self or we just have about 10 bad ethernet cables which would be news to me.
BTW my computer is:
AMD athalon x 2100 + running windows XP home
Radeon 9700 vid card
Gigabyte 7VAX mother board with built in ethernet card
512 DDR memeory
