Hello,
The link negotiation is low level and not done by the driver. Logs don't include this. The box tells Windows about the cable through the standard way. The fact the network adapter is present in Windows means the driver is installed correctly. I checked and the Targus Giga Ethernet seems fine in Device Manager, and in Network_Statistics.txt it is alive and well, just Media Disconnected.
I'm afraid it's a hardware issue:
- Issue with the NIC PHY,
- Issue with the cable or port,
- Trying to use non Full Duplex connection.
Kind regards,
Alban
