Ethernet Weirdness

[Jean-Marie]

Thanks for all the responses...

Last night i turned my system on in order to check a few things.
I re plugged in the Ethernet cable for about the fifth time.
Ethernet worked without a hitch and without me changing anything.

Seems obvious that the cable has a problem, or at least the plug..

Thanks to all who tried to help.

You are welcome. I know how frustrating it is when theory says it shall work, but reality is stubborn and does not!
I'm happy for you that it is working now. Enjoy the music!
