I have a "Jewel" notebook (from the Netherlands) wich has a sis650 chipset.
The problem is that my networkcard doesn't work when I boot my notebook when my usb printer is attached AND switched on (hp930).
I was thinking that it could be that my mobo can't start the NIC because the printer is draining to much power. This because when I remove the printer, switch off my notebook and back on, the nic works again.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
I already ruled out some options:
* it has nothing to do with a cable
* it doesn't happen with my usb flash drive (wich uses very little power)
* no driverproblem, happens in XP, win2k3 and Linux
* ...
Another strange thing is that another computer (connected directly) or a switch detects a network connection but they cannot reach my notebook. So it must be getting some power but maybe not enough?
want more details, just ask
