A7N8X Deluxe netowrk troubles

[Damien]

Heya all,

Just wondering if anyone else has had troubles with the onboard NIC's on the
A7n8x Deluxe (or other A7N8x) motherboard(s).

I recently purchased a v2.0 board, and everything works fine apart for the
NIC's... they have absolutely shocking throughput, so for the time being, I
have gone back to my cheap 10/100 NIC.


System:

A7N8X Deluxe v2.0
XP 2500+ (Barton w/ 166MHz FSB) (not overclocked)
Corsair TWINX 512Mb DDR
GeForce FX 5200
Seagate 80Gb 7200rpm w/8Mb cache
LG GMA-4020B DVD-RW
Cheap generic 10/100 NIC


Regards,

Damien

It's well established that the nVidia NIC works better than the other
one, but neither should be "absolutely shocking." What drivers did
you install? What OS?

Sorry,

OS is WIn XP Pro and drivers were the latest from nVidia's website as of
Friday (1 August 2003) Sorry, its 2:45am or I would look at the version
numbers lol!

And by absolutely shocking I mean it was causing my DSL connection to
transfer at less than 32 kbits/s.

My top one is perfect. Not sure about the other. Deleting a problem
nic in Device Manager and rebooting can do wonders.

Corsair Extreme 2x 256MB

Did you turn down the maxmtu setting for the nic, my dsl connection is
totally useless unless I drop this to 1400.

both of mine work fine too, both worked on the lan @ 100~ when tested
and both connected fine to my cable modem and did the interenet thing just
fine....
my 2nt pc's power supply burnt up while they were connected so maybee I can
blame the nic

 

[Damien]

Yup, I tried that, runs fine with the old PCI NIC set at ~ 1450...... wish
I knew what was wrong with it, it a pain having 2 onboard NIC's, yet still
having to use an old PCI job....
