BBA setup trouble

[Mr Bob The One Eyed Sheep]

Done that it's just the same.
all i get is a couple of flashes on the tx rx leds on my nic the dc says recieving data and then about a minute later comes up with an error code. If i then hit reboot led's flash again and the dc says idle.

i have tried 3 different Xover cables even bought a brand new today still no different.

The only thing i can think of is the BBA must be dead!

Poor thing only had it 2 weeks.
