Problem with NIC(s) on DFI Lanparty UT SLI-D..

[uberowo]

Well I just got my DFI mobo up and running nicely on the new OCZ ram, but a new problem has occured that I didnt have with the Epox.. The NIC (it actually seems both NICs, the nvidia and the marvel) randomly goes offline/online all the time. One second I am surfing fine, and the next I am offline. And this seems to happen very frequently, were talking seconds between going on and off.

My sig is accurate besides now having the DFI instead of the the Epox and OCZ instead of the Corsair.. I am using all 4 SATA connections and I have one DVDRW on IDE channel1. Might be some kinda address conflict, but I am not sure how to fix it..

I installed the nforce4 6.66 drivers first, then uninstalled the network driver only and tried with the ones that came with the DFI cd but it didnt solve anything..

Anyone have a clue?

try using just the marvel NIC and force 100mbit full duplex in the driver and see if that resolves your issues.

Theres no difference (it seems) between using the nvidia and the marvel connection.

Are you using the Nvidia firewall, if so turn it off.. You can use windows firewall, but the best solution is to use a hardware router..

Not using the nvidia or the windows firewall.. I am using a hardware router, but its setup properly as I've been using it for years now.. (I dont have any problems getting online with my other computer either..)
