Cant Get On-line

[dling]

i nave a Q: 4 anyone that has an nf7-s mobo im not able to get back on line after

a format and fresh install of xp pro .

in the device manager the IDE ATA/ATAPI host controller is : OHCI Compliant

IEEE 1394 host controller , and the network adapter is : 1394 net adapter.

i have two other nvidia2 base m/b's rigs and there using nvidia drivers.

i cant get mine to use nvidia .

are these right.

 

 

edit: i forgot 2 add that im using a dsl modem into a router

w/ 3 computers, 2 of them r working.

Ok so obviously the router/modem is working fine. You are installing the drivers for your network card right? Because to me it sounds like you don't even have your network card installed, only the firewire ports are.

 

If its not coming up in windows to install it, make sure they are not accidently disabled in the BIOS.

yeah, in my Device Manager i have:

 

Network Adapters -> NVIDIA NForce MCP Networking Adapter

 

and i had to install the drivers for that separately... (drivers on the mobo cd work)

 

(edit: oh, i have a different mobo, but it's NForce2 so i'm guessing it may be the same deal with the adapter not having drivers installed like LobbDogg said)

i think the ethernet may be disabled in the bios

i dont know why i dident think of it sooner.

im at work now but i'll check it out when i get home

 

edit: yeap, that was it
