This is
typically an issue with older 10/100BaseT network cards. The problem is the
older cards have a hard time establishing a connection speed with the router
unit.You can resolve this issue by locking down the speed of your Ethernet
card.
To correct this problem in WINDOWS XP
Step 1 Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network
connections.
Step 2 Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and
select Properties.
Step 3 Select the Configure button.
Step 4 Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and
Value.
Note: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in
the Property box will be slightly different.
Step 5 Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box
displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this:
Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb
Full Duplex.
Step 6 Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer
may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.
