[Resolved] Infinity.. wtf happened with LAN?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, first post here and unfortunately its a bad thing.. =/

 

My Lan was working fine and then PUFF! it was gone.. I've already the "lan dropout cure" but no use for me..

 

I use a ADSL 256/128 and can't get past the connecting through wan miniport, dunno why though..

 

Put in an old Generic ethernet from Realtek and it is working fine. but where is my onboard lan? :confused:

 

Sorry bout the lauzy (is the spelling correct?) english but i'm kinda rusty.. got used to a lot of reading in english but almost no writing :rolleyes:

sorry bout that, I only put the sig after having posted that.

 

guess it's all here now, I've read the sticky before, searched for this and there was one user with the same problem I'm having..

tried to increase the agp latency as it was one of the things that could solve the problem according to the topic but couldn't even boot with the higher latency.

 

EDIT: found the topic

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...=&threadid=1345

 

it says PCI latency.. didn't he mean AGP? couldn't find this in bios anywhere.

53C seems a bit high on cpu temp, though it shouldnt affect LAN

 

put my finger in the heatspreaders.. They aren't even warm to touch.. =/ in both SB and NB

 

I have a fan in the window of the Tower and 2x intake + 2x exit so heating of the mobo shouldn't be a problem at all..

 

Systemp is now 41ºC and Cpu (playing music, trillian and surfing the web.. ) is 46~47º

 

I know it's kinda high but it's because I have to clean my cooler... can't remove it because I ran out of AS ceramique.. and here it's kinda hard to find good thermal paste in normal shops so gotta ask it from the internet.. 20 days waiting SUX.. gonna steal some from a friend of mine and get back to my 51ºC @ load (yeah.. STILL kinda high, brazil is pretty damn hot ya know? ;) )

 

PS: Really great support.. =D thanks man.

It's almost faster than ICQ =]

Do you have drop out when not OC'd ?

 

I had sound and lan drop .. But disabling ACPI has fixed it for me 100%.. Currently im also using a pci ethernet card cuz I forgot to take it out when I was having drop outs..

 

If it works fine with the PCI card then just leave it in.. if you cant run your current OC with the onboard.. small price to pay to keep the fsb I guess.. ;)

 

You also might try to run memtest and prime.. Just to see if the OC is still stable..

Did you try putting the mac address from the AGP slot(sticker) in your bios settings or in device manager under nvidia networking controller? When I first got my Infinity I spent about 5 hours trying to get onboard lan to work out of the box new. This always brings it back for me, have lost it 2 times. I lost it a second time after a bios flash. There use to be a sticky post about the windows method but it seems to have disappeared.
