Re: Cannot communicate with game adapter

That is similar to the issue we were seeing when diagnosing the issue with 980's network. But we had the advantage of having a second classmate available to configure exactly the same. One classmate worked, the other didn't leading us to suspect the classmate as it was the only variable between the two tests.

Of course, saying it is the classmate leaves a lot of possibilities, i.e., the ethernet's physical connection, the network card, updates applied to the OS. Reimaging would eliminate the software variables.

My difficulty is trying to explain what in the classmate would cause the router to not talk to the gaming adapter. Could it be a marginal electrical connection? Badly formed packet? Its hard to tell. Common sense would say it has to be the configuration/operation of the adapter or router, but in my tests I pretty sure I isolated all the variables leaving the classmate as the only variable.
