This problem has nothing to do with NPVR but I'm stumped (I hear the laughing!)
My ISP told me a very old email account (we don't use) was hacked and sending out spam so they blocked my account. They know its not me because the same thing happened to dozen of old, unused email addresses. I deleted that email address and they cleared my account. Just hours later, one of my systems can't connect to the internet or the network. I tried other cables, other ports in the router, release and renew and a few other things and while it pops that it's connected every now and then, it's only for a second or two.
I was thinking it was my onboard NIC but I did a ping 127.0.0.1 and it came back fine and ipconfig /all shows an IP address for that adaptor. So, how can I tell if it's the NIC?
I have no external NIC's to try nor space to add one but I may just get a cheap, USB Ethernet Adaptor and try it out but I was curious if the hardware brains here had any ideas. Not that it matters but this box is 3 1/2 years old and is on and connected almost 18 hours a day.
