P4P800 - New 3COM and SoundMax drivers on Asus site

[John Smith]

Hi,

I notice Asus have alot of new drivers up online for the P4P800 - mainly the
3COM and SoundMax drivers for a variety of OSes.

I downloaded the 3COM drivers for XP tonight - once from the Global site and
once from the Europe site - but when I went to unzip both I got error
messages.

Anyone else having the same problems?

Thanks,


J.

And I've just got the same corruption issue with the latest downloaded
SoundMax for XP.

Yeah, it's been a problem lately for Asus.

Prepare an email with the details as to which servers and files are
corrupted. I sent my complaint to the following addresses and
the files were fixed in about four days. It seems Asus is unable
to identify the source of the corruption, so we just have to keep
sending emails to get this stuff fixed. I explained to them the
need to checksum their server contents, so they can identify these
problems automatically, but the advice fell on deaf ears...

Just got an email from Asus saying the corruption is probably due to such
high demand on the servers - well there you go.

They probably said "Checksum what?" What do you want us to

checksome,,,,,,,

You can get the drivers from the German FTP, no corruption.

ftp.asuscom.de

Having downloaded the SoundMax and 3COM files from the Germans site I still
get corrupted files when I try to Winzip.

Hm, the 3Com drivers were fine yesterday. Didn't try the sound drivers.

Are you sure you're on the right FTP? I don't even see Soundmax drivers
on the German one.

Nope - I downloaded from the Europe sever which I assumed was the German
one. I just went to the ftp site you mentioned but, gee, I got lost in all
that German.

I'll just wait until Asus correct things - could be a long wait though.
