Hi Jamesh, I have already installed the latest version of the software (DisplayLink_7.4_M2.exe), I tried to uninstall it, use the cleaning program (EndUserCleaner.exe) and install the software again.
The installation is successful, connect the network cable to the docking station (the LEDs start blinking), connect the docking station to Vaio and start the setup process ... and Ethernet port LEDs turn off and it seems dead.
In device manager everything seems working but in the settings page of the network adapter appears disconnected the cable.
I did a bit of test and at the end I solved (better, I bypassed the problem): it seems that is not working properly auto-negotiation, in fact as soon as I changed the parameter "Speed & Duplex" in the advanced settings of property of the displaylink ethernet device by "Auto Negotiation" to any of the other values (I use 1.0 Gbps but also works the other) suddenly got hooked on the network.
Thanks anyway of the reply and I hope that my experience can help someone else.
Tiziano
