I would tend to think the network card instead of the cabling or mau. If I
remember correctly you can startup the network without anything even
connected to the NIC. So, if the NIC was working and the cabling or mau had
a problem I would expect to be able to startup the network service, but not
be able to talk to anything. In fact, I had a similar problem with a
failing transceiver. The network started up fine but wouldn't talk to
anybody.
Thanx,
Jon

I'd suspect faulty equipment, like network card, cabling, mau...
