Can't get network to work on A7N8X-E Deluxe
I've tried everything I can think of but can't get this network going. I
know the nic's work, the cable, ics, addresses..everything I can think of. I've done this half a dozen times. Got xp pro on the host, 98 on the client. The nic's always worked before I installed xp. Can't get the motherboard's built-in nic's to work...no matter what I try. Installed pci nic's that I know have worked...still nothing. Cable used to work but no go there either. No ics on the client but did use the xp network wizard...still no go. The network connection shows an X thru the network nic but the nic's are all approved by the ms compatibilitity thingie...still no go. Nic's previously worked...cable previously worked...but can't get past the X. The nic's are properly installed...I think....usual software installations...nothing untoward. On every level...everything looks a go except the X...but it just won't work...grrrr...Pinging don't work cuz it doesn't seem to recognize the network nic's...tried a couple others with full uninstallation and reinstallation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...thinking it's the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. Is it possible the MB just won't let the nic's talk? Thanks. |

But my 2nt nik wasnt a Nvidia one and windows installed it on boot, But the system didnt work for me when I first tried it. After installing the drivers form the cd everything started working (strange thing these windows). Maybee your problem is the same. I feel for ya on this one too.. I HATE windows networking.. take me back to novell ;) |
there's drivers on the ASUS CD. Also how many PC do you have in this
"network" if its just 2 you need either a hub, a router or a cross-over cable if your using cat5 to connect(the out on one PC goes to the in on the other). "Clarity" wrote in message ...
