[Ti] Network Ports

[Bill Reburn]

David,

Is this occurring with a specific set of cables that you are using at
home/office? Or pretty much wherever you plug in? Could be a simple cable
swap for a solution?

I have noticed a wide variety of connectors having similar charcteristics to
your problem, but often find 'good ones' by mistake. Don't know if that's
the case for you though.

Also - there is a little wire inside that port that lightly snaps down over
the tab on the connector, sometimes it gets stuck or jerky. Is yours
sticking?
