Hi
I purchased an X-Surf-100 about a month ago, and in that time until Thursday Aug 12th, it was working flawlessly in my Amiga 4000D.
On Friday, I booted up the machine - with no changes in software, hardware or the internet connection - and suddenly the card seems to have issues with connecting and/or working reliably.
Ping to my gateway shows huge packet loss (anywhere between 20 and 90 percent). Very occasionally, it connects and works fine but then fails again later.
I have tried the same cable, changing nothing in between it and the router, on numerous PCs and connectivity is fine. Same with other cables I have.
In case of power supply issues, I also removed the CyberVision 64/3D and AD516 cards (both of which work perfectly still) from the system and tried again, with no effect. The rest of the system is totally stable.
Finally, I tried changing the jumper to Z2 instead of Z3. This also made no difference.
It appears to me that something has gone wrong with the card, but at this stage I have no diagnostics to prove this, other than packet loss.
Other notes: I'm using AmiTCP set up manually, as I always do on Amiga machines. I had changed nothing about the configuration. It's using a Static IP, unoccupied by anything else. The machine is using a BFG9060, and has been since installation of the X-Surf (and before) with no issues previously.
Thanks for your help,
Mark
