Thraxz Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Okay, I've been fiddling with the board a while now and it's been pretty simple stuff. I only have my E6600 to 3.0Ghz on stock voltage that primes. The temps are too high for me to push further.... I also don't really see the point besides the e-penis. I'll just wait for my new TDX block for that, no hurry. However, I booted up my computer yesterday to a big fat "PAGE NOT FOUND" error in firefox. WTF? So I proceed to note that my LAN connection is gone without a trace. I reinstalled chipset/network drivers from the DFI CD... still nothing. I check the wiring and even used a different ethernet cable/router slot. No dice. (When the LAN is plugged in, the little light in back lights up green) It's as if the LAN controller is completely gone and doesn't exist. I reinstalled windows... no LAN. Cleared BIOS... no LAN. Is there anything I'm missing? I'm starting to think RMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 No help eh? Looks like it's time to chat with DFI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxz Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks I'll give that a shot. I'm nearly certain it won't work though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radodrill Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 is windows telling u your connection is broken... or is nothing there? Does an ipconfig int he command line yield anything? Check out the first post. So I proceed to note that my LAN connection is gone without a trace. i.e. it doesn't show up in the network connections page; so it wouldn't even show with an ipconfig. @Thraxz, Is the ethernet controller also missing from the device manager?

Thraxz Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 When I say gone... I mean gone. /defeated wimpering. It's as if the hardware doesn't exist... anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGone Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 What bios you on Thraxz? 9/13 or the later 11/15? Whichever, I think I would reflash the bios from floppy...remove A/C power to power supply or equivalent. Jumper cmos to pins 2/3 and remove battery and short the two opposite poles of battery holder for at least 30 secs...reverse steps... install battery...cmos to pins 1/2 and repower power supply and boot and load optimized defaults first...reboot and then adjust as necessary...retest...fails? Email rma at dfiweb dot com and begin rma process... EDIT: shett I forgot I have seen a few on net that had no issue "until'' flashing to the 11/15/06 bios...maybe you should retry the 9/13/06 if you are 'not' currently on it...END EDIT. RGone...:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raju Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I've had that issue once, it's when the computer has shutdown somehow and put the lan into sleep mode. If it's the same issue I had; Reset the board completely as Rgone said and it should come back, also make sure that when/if you can see the device again in windows that power saving features are turned off for lan in the config in xp.. regards Raja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I went through every single setting manually and now it works. I don't know what fixed it but I'm typing to you right now on it. Whew.... thanks for all the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acarrera Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Did you install the updated NIC drivers as well? A friend of mine had the same problem and it was similar to a demonic possession of his computer. He was able to cast it out much like you did. Glad it's running.
