Ethernet port issue

Hi All,
I have a fit pc2 which has dual ethernet ports. One of the ethernet ports comes on the goes off and continues to do this. The other ethernet port seems to work fine. I did try removing the hardware device and deleting the old driver and updating it with the latest one available on the website but this made no difference. I have also replaced the patch lead with a known good working one.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Alan

I have this same issue. Eth2 shows up after loading the driver, but not Eth1. The OS is Windows XP Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing you are experiencing, but a few of us have had problems getting both ethernet ports to work.
I got the Fit-PC2i back in 2010 to use as a firewall because of its dual ethernet ports, but gave up trying to get both ports to work. I ended up hanging a cheap USB ethernet adapter off the back of the unit, and it has been going OK for the last two years. Still, I cannot recommend a Fit PC if you want dual ethernet ports.

Sorry to hear about bad experience with a Fit-PC2i. We haven't confirmed an ethernet port failure on Fit-PC2i on tested units yet. If there is a hardware problem, we are offering our valued customer an RMA service.
We are doing our best to deliver our customers the most reliable products, but even so, sometime there is a things that beyond of our control.
