Troubleshooting Rule #1
Is the cable plugged in?That wasn't the problem in this case, but close. When I left on Friday, my desktop had an active network connection. When I arrived today, it didn't. What changed? I had installed a Microsoft hotfix, but hadn't rebooted yet. The cable was good. The port was good. Windows 2000 saw the network interface card. But I couldn't get out.
What did I miss?
The network interface card wasn't fully seated in the PCI slot. And my cubicle floor is atypically clean. Beware the Merry Maids.
