Asus A7N266-VM Network Issues
Hello,
I'm having some network troubles with the few machines that I have built here which are based on the A7N266-VM motherboard. The network appears to work fine most of the time, however there seems to be some issues with sending files across a novell network. We run an in-house app that exports a file to our Novell server and it hangs about half way through and the rest of the file never makes it up to the server. I had installed the latest nForce component drivers, which seemed to work, although sending the file still took about 5 minutes when it should have been seconds (the files are not more than 500k) After deciding that it just wasn't going to work and that adding a new NIC would be easier, I attempted to install a Netgear FA311 card. When it was installed, I could log in to Novell, but as soon as I did, the machine would reboot itself. It appears that some people have had the network issues with the on-board LAN, but I have not yet seen a fix. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, and if not, if there is a network card that actually works with the board? TIA, Jessica |
My humble 2 cents -
I just built two PC's with the A7N266-VM running W2K Pro. No problems at all, but then they are in a TCP/IP enviroment. Did you update to the latest BIOS? I would recomend trying out a 3com or intel NIC, and I would disable the onboard NIC while doing this. Good luck "Jessica Ball" wrote in message ...
