Soyo K7V Dragon Plus

[mike123]

I was wondering if anybody else keeps having the same problem with this board.How can I get the damn LAN connection to work?I have it enabled in the bios and my cable is hooked up properly and working( I tried the connection on another computer).If I type in winipcfg,it tells me media disconnected.Can anyone resolve this issue?

The onboard LAN on my Dragon+ seems to be a little touch and go. If it isn't working, a simple disconnect of the cable, reconnect, and wiggle. Normally that fixes the problem and it will be fine for months, until I pack things up and move again.

Mine has always worked great without any hicups.

no problems here. Bad cable?

Yea, my Soyo K7V Plus onboard lan connection works fine too. I forgot, but I think there might be a driver to install...

I have never had this problem with mine, however the other day I was going nuts helping a customer with the same error message. I was just about to throw his card out thinking it was bad till I looked at the little wires in the ethernet jack. Turns out they were just pushed down too far for for the plug too reach them. Bending them back up solved the problem, I would recommend you try the same.

yes, the onboard nic is a pos. mine has been out for a month or two, i just bought a cheapo nic to replace it. i didnt feel like messing with a RMA. my buddy just got this board too. his is out the first week he got it. now my sound is not working. these are the two of the 3 reasons i got the board. good 6 channel onboard sound , onboard nic and the raid. i have reallly like the board besides this, but its RMA time.
hope its not to late......

cheese out
