what os you running? xp?

do an "ipconfig /all" command from a command prompt OR run "winipcfg" if 95/98/ME.

Does the ip address and subnet mask match the rest of your lan?

Tried another cable?

Turn off auto-negotiate for the speed too - manually set the speed and duplex on/off.

Hi people.

had the same with someone else's shuttle. Wouldnt get to the net via its onboard controller.

any ideas? Thanks

Has it been detected?
Drivers loaded?
DHCP or static? If dhcp, has it got an ip lease?

super_si

Yeah upgraded to new Nvidia drivers.its installed. It sends packets , doesnt recieve them.

cant ping router. tried setting the ip.

Now im

super_si

Done that. 2k pro.

If i let it get an IP automactically it doesnt

So i put

192.168.0.4
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1

I take it your router's running a DHCP service. If so, it should make DHCP queries. If not, then either the drivers not working properly, there's a hardware fault or it's a physical connection problem.

Is the NIC connected directly to the router with a x-over cable, or a built-in/seperate hub/switch?

Are you getting a link light and activity on the hub or NIC?

Stefan

Jules is trying to help me.

Weve pinged the router on two different ports 10 times
1st 6/4
2nd 4/6

Off my working pc we got 10!

So somethings not right

super_si

Just installed my Netgear NIC.

As you can tell it works

As for onboard, cant get that to work at all!!!

Is your router a switch?

If its a switch set 100MBps, full duplex.
If its a hub set 100MBps, hald duplex.

If that doesn't work try every combination possible

Is the cable straight thru?

can you ping 127.0.0.1 when using the onboard lan card?

if not, try changing the irq setting in bios for it, may be conflicting, and getting the right network driver.

super_si

Cheers cant be arsed messing for what its worth.

just leave the NIC in and diabled that onboard one.

Cheers anyway

Stefan

super_si

Nope lol i take the pain

This is just mental torture bring on the physical

ozzy

Like my old PTI always told us -

"pain is an emotion"
"all emotions are there to be enjoyed"
"how you react to an emotion is just in your mind"

that was usually before he gave us a thrashing for 3 fecking hours - barsteward

You sound like you'd get on well with him

Stefan

super_si

A friend off here told me a saying and its really stuck.

"Pain is weakness leaving the body"

That really hits home and pushes me the extra mile, or extra 20 plate

You registered the new MAC address with your ISP ?

eg. Blueyonder Broadband users are allowed 5 MAC addresses

Just ring them up and tell them to add the new MAC to their database.

super_si

your not allowed a router on the network

DazV

I was referring to your LAN card.

I've got an Evesham E-style which uses a Shuttle XPC box (Win XP, P4 2.4ghz). I did have a problem with the onboard LAN interface. It just stopped working after a few weeks. Nothing would work. Evesham sent an engineer who rebuilt the PC with a new motherboard. This worked OK, but it was crashing a lot and I had the feeling that I was being used as a gunieapig for a new release on motherboard code. Eventually, Evesham replaced the whole box (which was nice, as they put a 120Gb drive in it and my original only had an 80Gb )

So your only option maybe to replace the motherboard. The joys of integrated LAN cards

Cheers chris i suspected that tbh.

We did test and some worked some didnt so definalty faulty
