The desk PC MEZZ-DESK-04 dropped off the network this morning. You've
confirmed the onboard adapter is dead. There's a parts bin of add-in cards and a
free expansion slot. The Cat 5e drop to this desk is already run (~25 m).
Get it back on the LAN and the internet.
Connect the existing Cat 5e patch cable between the installed card's Ethernet port and the wall jack.
A small management shell on the workstation. Try help.
Useful checks: linkstatus, ipconfig, ping gateway,
ping internet.
