Hi,

I have a p-III pc with 128mb ram. I have 33kbps internet on cable shared through a hub and connected with a cat5 utp cable. Now my problem is when i connect to internet my NIC card gets damaged. I got my 2 NIC damaged while connecting to internet. I just want to know whether its a problem of UTP cable coming from the hub. or it's a system problem.

Damaged?? oO are u sure!? may u want try to reconfigure them... and if you can't, then there realy damaged...

I actually had a issue like this before. We had a bad storm here and everything that was physically conencted via cat5 and coax was fried. Every port that was active on the switch the cable modem and every network card. What survived was the ports turned off and the wireless equipment.

So it is possible that he has a short or something in the lines cuasing damage to his cards
