When I first installed my 8800 two weeks ago the ethernet led (ETH2) flashed as expected when there was traffic. This morning I noticed this is now not the case, it is a constant green despite everything working normally and the led at the computer end flashing as it should. Wired ADSL connection. Has something changed?

Try pumping some traffic through the port

There is loads of traffic going through the port, it is what I am connected via....

Its a strange one I have never seen, have you tried a different LAN port on the 8800NL R2 to see if the same occurs??

Last night when I had my old Windows XP machine on, which uses ETH1, I found the ETH1 LED flashed as normal. On ETH2 I have my main computer, Windows 10, and that still does not flash when there is traffic. Clutching at straws, maybe the latest Windows update has changed something or maybe it is IPv6 related (Windows 10 machine and WAN use IPv6, XP obviously does not).

Also puzzled why in the logs ETH2 shows as port 2 and ETH1 as port 3?...
