Q:

My notebook will not be able to detect my network cable for Vista's x86, how to solve this problem?
Now, my Internet connection stopped working, due to error 815: Remote server did not respond to ... Since then, I have almost every attempt to resolve the sun. I have changed the cables, I have to reinstall the driver, I have to delete the PPPoE connection, I have tried to log on to admin, no luck.

The incident took place in a storm and my network card is fine according to Device Manager.

I am sure this is not an issue of the cable, it seems that this is not a hardware problem. I tried almost all solutions. At this point, I might try a "crossover cable" to help! The need for expert advice!

 

A:

A crossover cable will not help, crossover cables are only for connecting two standard Ethernet cards (rather than an Ethernet card to a hub, switch or bridge) if you did not need this type of cable before you will not now and it will not work, it could even cause damage to components.

The fact this happened in a storm does cause real concern that either the network card or the router (especially given the latter is attached to a telephone pole which subjects it to a high risk during storms) the Ethernet card can be damaged and still appear to be working fine, the cable detection is done by a very low voltage simple electronic circuit that runs from one end of the cable to the other should that have been exposed to electrical charges that occur in storms (eve
