I have check my UTP cable it is ok.Is it NIC card problem? There are two LED Light (Act and Link) on Nic .Now only act light is on and Link light is off but only when i type ping other pc ip address the light(link ) is blinking.pls help some instructions.

any advice would be appreciated.
The Realtek RTL8139 hardly ever fails, but they can. Check CABLES. TRY other cable. Run the Wizard again on both computers. Be sure simple file sharing is on. Have common user accounts with password on both machines. Set it up for home network. Search for the other computer, pull your hair, curse, reboot the computer, yada yadda yaaaa... you know the DRILL.

And no, I don't get a thing for the free plug.
