All three lights on my router and NIC are blinking on and off in unison at 1 second intervals. Why? and what can I do to fix it? It worked fine yesterday. Thanks.

mjolnir · 05-06-2005, 08:49 PM

I know you have probably already done this but have you tried re-setting the router?

mpyusko · 05-07-2005, 01:03 PM

Yes, I can reboot to win98 and it works fine too. I tried jiggling wires, restting the router, unplugging the computer.... all to no avail.
