Hello,
I have a network of cat 6 (all Cable, patch panel, sockets, plugs etc... on cat 6). I have some 10 computers using D-Link Gigabit NIC and an unmanaged Gigabit D-Link Switch. The problem is that when the nics are set to auto-negotiation, windows says that the cable is unplugged but when set to 100 Mbps Full duplex, everything runs fine! Forcing the nics to run on 1000Mbps will cause windows to detect the cable as unplugged again.
All crimping, patching have been made on T568A.
I have noticed that when I lift up the patch cords (which usually lie on the floor) coming from the wall socket to the nics, it runs on gigabit (when nic set manually to giga), it looses connection again when dropped.
This could have been due to bad crimping or wires damaged inside, loose connection at wall socket or NIC etc... but the same error cannot be reproduced at 100Mbps.
any input appreciated,
thanks
