GA 7N400 Pro2 - Onboard LAN and Eudora
The 7N400 Pro2 has the Realtek8110 gigabit ethernet onboard NIC.
I have no problem connecting to the net with Netscape or IE, I can receive mail in both Netscape and Eudora (default e-mail) but I can not send e-mail in either one. Each time I get a "network connection timeout, code 10053". Have e-mailed realtek and gigabyte. Gigabyte knows of no problems and realtek can not help. Any one have the same problem or solution? I remember reading a article where some students with this gigabit NIC were having the same problems and that the University came out with a fix but alas I could not find it. Any help/comments appreciated mailman |

Hmm
On my board (7N400 pro2) I can't even get the onboard Gigabit LAN to work. So your even better off than I am :-) BR Tommy "mailman" wrote in message .. .

Hmmmm,
Mine is in a small network with multiple operating systems, plus print servers and other miscellaneous hardware, no problems at all. I did download updated drivers, but used the old ones while I was doing it. I am using a DSL-504 modem router and an old 10base-T hub at the centre of the net. I did not have to do anything special. I did allow the system to reboot frequently during the driver install phase. John. "Tommy" wrote in message k... Hmm On my board (7N400 pro2) I can't even get the onboard Gigabit LAN to work.

Any help/comments appreciated mailman After fighting the onboard LAN on my Ga-7vax for months, I reinstalled a Netgear card and upgraded to Win2k from 98SE. The Netgear card caused an IRQ problem on 98 that would cause a hard lock up. Works great in 2k now. |

After fighting the onboard LAN on my Ga-7vax for months, I reinstalled a Netgear card and upgraded to Win2k from 98SE. The Netgear card caused an IRQ problem on 98 that would cause a hard lock up. Works great in 2k now. The onboard LAN is a Realtek 8139, and the onboard version of that is famous for going to sleep and not being wakeable. (GA7VAXP mainboard). There is a fix, which I downloaded, but by then, I'd given up and like you, installed a PCI network card. Paradoxically, it is also Realtek 8139, but works fine! The fix file is 34k and has the name winxp-8139(505).zip I'm sure I got it from Realtek's website. I've used the onboard LAN on 7N400 Pro and Pro2 boards, and they seem to work fine for me - but there's also a chance I suppose that they could be afflicted with a similar problem, and have a similar fix. Best of luck. Eddie |

Thanx to all that answered. Since Gigabyte and Realtek don't have the
answer, I too went to a 10/100 PCI NIC, which of course solved the problem. I guess my gripe is buying a MB with all the bells and whistles only to find out that not all parts work and nobody on the manuafacturing end cares :=( |
