I have a desktop PC with WinXP Home, ASUS A7N8X-X, Athlon 2500+ Barton and
512MB DDR PC3200 and I have installed all the drivers included with the ASUS
CD.

The desktop is connected with a cross cable to a laptop with WinME.

I have configurd the IP of the TCP/IP as it follows:
Desktop 192.168.0.1 - Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Laptop 192.168.0.2 - Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
I do not have a shared Internet connection and I do not have firewall.
The two PC can see each other, I can also see the shared folders and the
ping it is OK. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to transfer files: it
starts to copy but after a while the transfer it is interrupted and a
warning says "resource not more available" or other warnings of error.
Sometimes I am able to transfer small files, under 500kb but the speed is
always very low.

Someone can help me?

Thanks
Fabio

There was a thread here on the 28th that was very similar. Started by Scott

(Works for me now)

But didn't really come to a conclusion.

I suggested setting the MAC address manually, which I don;t think was tried.
You can find the MAC address on a sticker on the floppy (I think) connector
on the motherboard and enter the MAC address in the nForce LAN driver.

After a lot of attempts I set the speed/duplex settings as "autonegotiate
for 10FD" instead of full autonegotiation and now it works even if at 10mps.
I was unable to set any speed/duplex setting with 100mps.
Thanks

Shame you're running it at 10Mbps then.

I take it you're usig a crossover cable - what if you set them both to 100
full duplex?

Anyway, thanks for the info... I think the 8139 is a pretty robust card so
dunno why it might have autonogotiaton problems.
