    Networking Frustration

    Update: MTU setting is 1500, per the ping test results (this is set on the router as well); these settings have been like this since the devices were installed. Also, I disabled the onboard NIC through the BIOS, and am only riding the 3COM for now; at the moment it doesn't appear to me that...

    Networking Frustration

    I did the route print before disabling one of the devices; even with one disabled (the 3COM failed in the interim of spidey07 posting and this reply), the route print doesn't seem to tell me much. I also tried rebuilding the TCP stack with netsh, which didn't solve the problem, either...

    Networking Frustration

    The fact that it works, and then doesn't, should rule out the cables, shouldn't it? It just seems like any electrical problems would be apparent all the time, not just some of the time.

    Networking Frustration

    It's more puzzling than anything else. I can't ping the gateway, but I can ping the other NIC device just fine, and I can also communicate with the internet anyway (after all, I am posting here from the busted machine). I'll try route print now and see what happens. I'll edit in the results...

    Networking Frustration

    This is the only computer I have, though. :s Before I go entirely into diagnostics mode, could you tell me how route print works? Of all things, networking is not my strong point.

    Networking Frustration

    I've since unbridged them, since the problem wasn't fixed by bridging; at the moment they're two, separate, standalone connections. I'll try scrubbing out the networking things, but this problem's been persistent across three installations of Windows. Additionally, the first bridge I built...

    Networking Frustration

    Both NICs are rigged to connect to the default gateway at 192.168.0.1; is this still causing a problem? The network was suffering the same problem before I connected the second NIC...

    Networking Frustration

    I've been trying to ping the gateway as it's listed in the connection information (192.168.0.1 for D-Links, I guess), but it keeps timing out on all ping requests. The connection status for the 3COM says it's still sending and receiving data though, so I'm not sure why it's not getting the ping...

    Networking Frustration

    I hadn't thought about the second NIC being connected as an issue, since the problem had existed before I attached both. The only reason I had both wired in is because I had bridged them a couple of months ago, in the hopes that bridging might at least keep me from suffering lack of service by...

    Networking Frustration

    I've been banging my head against the wall for two years with this chronic problem. I bought an entirely new NIC to replace the old one, thinking that was the cause; the problem persists, regardless of NIC. So, this is my problem: I have a cable modem (old Motorola Surfboard), which, for...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    I haven't tried a disc cleaner, since, like I said, the drive's always had problems with reading DVDs. Nobody smokes in my house, so it shouldn't be dirty... I just ordered an NEC DVD burner from NewEgg, and if that doesn't read DVDs either, I'm going to have to kill someone. :( Edit...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    Thanks for the link and help. :) Can I reverse this if it kills the drive? I'm going to try the 6S02 firmware flash... Check this space for a progress update. Edit: No love for the 6S02 firmware flash. I guess the drive is fragged... :(

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    Battlefield 2 is still a no-go. I'm still trying to figure out how to flash the drive to a LiteOn as per the link SlitheryDee posted, but I don't think that flashing my CD-RW to a faster drive will change my DVD-ROM problem. Edit: On top of that, I don't know how to flash using MtkFlash...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    I was just there and didn't see anything for my drive. I guess I'm blind. ;) Thanks! :) Oh, and as I mentioned in my first post, my drive was using the KWH8 firmware revision--now it's KWH9 thanks to the link you posted. :) Edit: I did end up on cdfreaks when I Googled my drive, but...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    So it's an unfixable hardware problem? Or is there some way to salvage this drive? I mean, buying a new DVD drive isn't much of a problem for me (I've been thinking about getting a DVD burner anyway), but I'd rather the outlay of $200 be a last resort. Edit: Besides, if I get a new DVD...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    There aren't any upgraded firmware releases for this particular drive that I'm aware of. Someone had mentioned that the drive was a rebranded LiteOn 48161-H, but when I tried the firmware update it told me that no drives on my computer matched the device description of a LiteOn 48161-H. I...

    DVD-ROM that doesn't read DVDs

    Ok, so, I bought this Memorex 48MAX 244816AJ CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive about two years ago, figuring it'd save me some space since I could burn CDs and read DVDs in the same drive. Well, apparently, somebody forgot to tell me that this drive doesn't actually read DVDs, since nearly every DVD...

    diconnecting power to the fan

    BFG sells a replacement fan for $6, or something around that price. Just replace the fan, don't unplug it--you'll kill the GPU.

    Any difference with 3.0 Pixel Shading?

    I don't think you need a 32-bit floating point buffer, since if I remember correctly, FarCry's OpenEXR method uses the NV40's 16-bit floating point buffer; it's not the precision level of the shader units (which just determines pixel coloration by channel allocation), it's the way the data is...

    Any difference with 3.0 Pixel Shading?

    HW is hardware, I'm assuming? I thought that displacement mapping was done at runtime by pixel colorations on the normal map... Or is the benefit that the displacement mapping transformation is handled by the GPU and not the CPU? Either way, informative post. I didn't know that either of...

    Any difference with 3.0 Pixel Shading?

    No. Shader Model 3.0 is identical in featureset to Shader Model 2.x, aside from the efficiency improvements you already know about. I suspect that nVidia took advantage of that fact so they could squeeze a little more performance out of their NV4x's after the next generation of GPUs hits by...

    Enabled 16xAF in Half-Life 2 - can't tell the difference.

    I thought nVidia did support 6xAA, but only super-sampling and not multisampling... I run 6xAA with my 6800GT in Source and it seems to smooth the models quite nicely--then again, I also don't take screencaps and zoom in on the edges of every part of the image to see if there are any jaggies...

    need a crt monitor for gaming

    I use a 997DF, no pure-black problems or fuzzy text on mine... Runs great from 1024x768 to 2048x1536 (althout my 6800GT starts to wheeze a little at that resolution), although there IS a graphical glitch that pops up in the non-standard aspect ratios (1280x960 in particular, I haven't tested...

    Please Help: CPU for the next generation GPUs

    nVidia can't afford to lose more market share, and they're not going to sit by and let ATI go into another year of eating nVidia's profits. You can count on a low-k version of the 6800U being the "low end" hardware, if they're not going to do a full hardware release in the spring and just plan...

    Do You Need A 400 GB Hard Drive?

    Yeah, but considering the 400GB drives typically run you $2 a gig, this is a pretty hot deal... Especially with a drive that has a 5 year warranty and is from a reputable dealer/manufacturer.

    Do You Need A 400 GB Hard Drive?

    Mm, that's even hotter than the 250GB for $140 last year from Circuit City... 400GB is absolutely preposterous, though I'm sure I could find a way to fill it (I'm already ~50% through a 250GB and my 160/60GB are 80% filled each).

    Open-Source Graphics Card

    I just ran a search on both variants of the term open source and saw no threads in the Video forums about this, so I figure I'm the first one to think of bringing this to the AT forums... Anyway, for those of you who think that you know better than nVidia and ATI, now you can prove it. Check...

    3.0 Shaders or 3dc ... OpenGL or DirectX 9

    Well, if the power gain we saw with the NV35/R360->NV40/R420 upgrade is any indicator, you might be better off waiting for NV50/R500 and jumping on one of those, since those will likely be able to handle Unreal 3 at "ok" framerates. But if you absolutely must have a new card right now, I...

    [H]ard's New Article on FarCry patch 1.3 & SM3.0

    Well, I believe I said that I hadn't heard anything about HDR in HL2, and I was talking about my experience with CS:S (which, being based on HL2, should be a decent indicator of what HL2 will look like). The article you linked still mentions HL2 as the most anticipated game of 2003, so it may...

    [H]ard's New Article on FarCry patch 1.3 & SM3.0

    Half-Life 2 doesn't do HDR, as far as I know. It has some DX9 functionality, but it doesn't execute a realistic HDR representation as FarCry does (there are some light shafts on de_chateau in CS:S that are not HDR, nor does it offer any FarCry-style HDR shifts (that washout to clarity example...

    Technical question about HDR Rendering in Far Cry

    Crytek likely pulled a Valve by making HDR an nVidia-specific feature, along with supporting Shader Model 3.0, but their method of implementing HDR is more precise than other HDR implementations (like that RTFMOMGWTFBBQ or whatever the hell it's named) because it takes advantage of a...

    BFG 6800 GT OC

    Actually, I'm quite pleased with my BFG 6800GT (with its non-functioning PVP unit, I checked with WMV-HD video). I just don't find the loss to be of great importance, since the card works flawlessly otherwise and delivers amazing performance in every game I throw at it; if I was a heavy...

    BFG 6800 GT OC

    If I was a lawyer, I'd just point out that the NV40 is first-generation technology, and subsequent revisions of NV40 include functional PVP units, therefore not incorporating fallacious statements in any advertising media. The PVP device does work, just not on the experimental NV40 units...

    BFG 6800 GT OC

    Mm, I love the flames, they're so warm and cuddly, like sea urchins. :D Anyway, what I was actually saying is that complaining about the PVP unit not working is like complaining that your video card doesn't overclock like you thought it would, and then demanding the manufacturer give you...

    BFG 6800 GT OC

    I had a feeling that would be the reply. I have no real retort for that, as I don't know a lot about the PVP unit, but I do know that features not working as advertised is something everybody who jumps immediately on a bandwagon runs the risk of having happen to them. SP2 was touted as the...

    BFG 6800 GT OC

    I can't believe people are still talking about this. nVidia can't say "Okay, 3% of the computing world, we're going to recall all of our video cards and re-issue you $500 replacements at our personal expense", that's just fiscally irresponsible and totally stupid; no CEO is out to lose their...

    *POLL* Is the 6800 Series the most BUGGY card ever?

    I see so many complaints about the 6800s on these forums, and 98% of the time it's just PEBKAC errors. I took my 6800GT out of its box, stuck it in my motherboard, and that was all I had to do besides update my drivers to the 61.77s so Windows could identify the 6800GT properly. I have no idea...

    Crt What to do?

    My 997DF is working great. Granted, it's no professional-level monitor that can do 2048x1536 at 85Hz, but it's perfectly fine at 1600x1200... Anyway, as for your question, I don't think you're going to get a "super quality" monitor like you insist you have to have. From my understanding of...

    What video card do you own?

    6800GT, up from a Ti4200. Oh, the difference it made. :)
