I have a MBP 2.16. I got it Friday. I used migration assistant to transfer everything over from my powerbook. I connect to the internet thorough my airport card at home. Everything was working great, until..
So I get to work this morning and plug my MBP into the ethernet cable. I noticed immediately that there were connectivity problems. I tried pinging my default gateway and realized that I was getting an average of 45% packet loss. I tried another ethernet cable. Same problem. I tried another ethernet jack, same problem. I tried plugging in a co-workers Dell into the same jack, with the same ethernet cable, and there was no packet loss. It appears as though my MBP has a flakey ethernet card. I even tried changing the speed to 100-half 10-full and 10-half. No dice.
So my question is this. What else should I check? I am planning on calling Apple when I get home. My old powerbook is now gone, and I will have a hard time without a computer while they ship a replacement. Is there any way they will cross ship a replacement since it is only 3 days old?
Would migration assistant have caused issues by pulling some hardware specific settings over that might be causing problems? I also have the new universal Cisco vpn client installed. It works fine over airport, but I'm wondering if it might be causing the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
