Re: Semi-broken Ethernet cable

Alternatively try taking the upstairs comp downstairs and plugging it directly into the router, just to prove that it is the outside cable thats duff. If so, then replace the cable without worrying about testing it.
Thanks - I've checked it with my laptop and it works fine down here.

I think i will plug it in to my pc (pc off but ethernet active) upstairs have the router downstair and watch the activity light, currently it flickers violently even when the connection is dead, if I can get it to a constant I guess I've almost repaired it.

Will get the old ladder out tomorrow.
