I just recently reinstalled Windows ME(clean reinstall)and i've since been having connection drops with my LAN. I'm using the same hardware, same BIOS, and reinstalled the same software i had before the disk wipe.
This is how my cards are set up
AGP slot-GF3
PCI 1-empty
PCI 2-empty
PCI 3-SohoWare ethernet card(worked in the spot forever with no problems)
PCI 4-Santa Cruz
PCI 5-empty
I have the IRQs set on auto in the BIOS and never had a problem with it.
I noticed i am getting connection drops alot in Unreal Tournament online. If i close UT out after it drops and try to got to a website in my browser i get the white screen that says detect network settings. If i keep trying the site will eventually load up.
I've uploaded and downloaded large files to my server, and downloaded streaming media and the connection doesn't drop. It just seems to happen when there's rapid sending and recieving going on like in a online game. I've tried different PCI slots and IRQs for my network card and same stuff.It's been in it's current slot and has used the same IRQ for ages.
