Strange network problem
Hi,
This is about a friend's computer and a strange networking problem.
It's running Windows 7 Starter x86.
He told me that whenever he connected his PC to the home network through a network cable it would hang up. That's all I knew.
I took it home and connected it to my network through wi-fi and also through cable (separately) and both times it hung up with BSOD IRQL not less or equal.
Anyway, I fixed it. Or that's what I believed.
I could use it with my network through wi-fi or cable and worked just fine. Also tried it on a friend's home network.
I gave back the PC to my friend and he said that the problem still persists.
He lives in the countryside, like 45 km. (30 miles) away from my city so that's why going to his house is my last option.
He also states that other PCs work just fine in that network.
So, any ideas what I could try?
Thanks a lot.
