Recently, I had an issue where I thought I had a bad card in an ISA box.
In the process of throwing servers into a new cabinet, I grabbed a cable and
connected a switch to the ISA box and to the outgoing Cisco router.
The light came on and I was able to get out to the Internet... I thought
things were working.
However...
The ISA box stopped transferring packets and the remote network would
disappear and reappear. Investigating I found packet errors and performance
issues related to the connection between the switch and the router which was
in half-duplex mode. The switch was an auto sensing switch and when I
grabbed a cable and plugged it, the light came on and I thought it was
working... Or at least we thought so...
Instead it turned out to be an issue where a straight through cable was used
instead of a crossover cable between a switch and a router.
In auto detect mode, the switch/router would only talk half-duplex mode.
Forcing into full duplex mode, the connectivity light would go out and the
circuit would shut down.
By swapping out with a proper crossover cable, full duplex was achieved
without packet loss/errors. The ISA box hasn't had any problems since...
What I originally thought was a bad ISA NIC card or a bad switch, turned out
to be crossover cable issue.

Another thing to check is to NOT set it to go to sleep based on power
management. I think a few people got caught with that setting in the past.
