I am facing a very odd issue with MTNL's wireless router. [Huawei echolife HG520]
On startup, I get a "Network Cable Disconnected" error and the "Lan1" LED stays shut.
But if I disable and enable it a bunch of times ('bout 3~4 times) from the Network Control Panel, it manages to connect and functions normally.
This happens with all four LAN slots.
I have updated all drivers.
I havent updated the router firmware since MTNL has dissuaded me from doing so.
Doesnt seem to happen under Fedora.
My config:
Lan Card: Realtek RTL8168/8111 [On-board with my motherboard]
Router info: Huawei echolife HG520
OS: Win Xp PRO
Firewall: Comodo
[Does it need any special configuration?]
Router Internals:
TRENDCHIP TC3162P2F (adsl2/2+ bridge/router processor)
ESMT M12L128168A (16 MB SDRAM)
IC+ IP175C (5 port 10/100 Ethernet Integrated Switch)
SAMSUNG K8D1716UTC ( 2 MB NOR Flash Memory)
RALINK RT2561T (Wireless 802.11bg)
[Thats about all I have been able to find out!
]
If this helps:

PS: Yes, I did try bribing the router, it did not work.
