EX485 Ethernet Driver Update

I did something stupid (in hindsight) and am looking for some advice on how to rectify it ...
I wanted to improve the abysmal transfer speeds to/from my basic Mediasmart machine (one HDD). After reading a bunch of posts, I decided to start by updating the ethernet drivers. So I copied the latest driver to the server, and used the control panel/device manager to "update driver". Then I lost the connection to the server, and its never come back!!
I've tried a reboot of the server, but that didn't work. Given that the ethernet port is the only way to connect and work on the server - how do I fix an ethernet problem!!!

Hi,
What your seeing regarding the Driver for your CD/DVD Drive is normal.  The driver for these devices is supplied by Windows and there is no update.  Here's a screenshot of the driver tab from my Bluray drive - as you can see, it's dated the same as yours.
Regards,
DP-K

  • 10.8.5 update breaks ethernet driver?

    So after updating my mid-late 2007 MBP to 10.8.5, it crashes hard when connected to the wired ethernet.   By crashes hard, I mean the clock stops, the machine stops responding and turns itself off.   This does not seem to happen when I am connected to the wireless.
    Is it possible that the update broke the ethernet driver --at least for my machine.
    I have tried the following to fix it:
    Boot off of restore partition--repair disk, repair permissions
    Reset Pram
    Reset system (pull the battery, press the power)
    Install the update from the Combo
    Delete and re-install the ethernet from system preferences
    There were no detectable problems before the update and I'm connected to the ethernet everyday for 8-10 hours.   This problem began immediately after the update.
    Anyone else having this problem?  Thoughts?   I know this update worked on ethernet speed--is it now broken?
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Do you have recovery partition? Disconnect ethernet cable and Boot to recovery mode. Then connect your ethernet cable and run Get more help as this will open Safari (test a bit longer than just a 1-2 mins, give like a 10-20mins). If problem persist in Recovery Mode or Mac has problem with connection then you have a hardware issue. If in Recovery mode is ok, try boot to Safe mode, create new user and see if still is the same.
    If above doesn't help, then go to /Library/Preferences and rename SystemConfiguration folder to SystemConfiguration.OLD and then restart your computer. This step will reset all network settings and create new config files - although there shouldn't be any problems but Time Machine Backup would be recomended to have it anyway.

  • Re: Updating Marvell Yukon ethernet driver on an Equium A300D

    About a month ago I think it was I got an alert on the Toshiba Tempro tool to update a driver for the Marvell Yukon ethernet driver on my laptop. I downloaded the zip file as instructed from the Marvell website (an updated driver was released on 18/8/08) and attempted to install it, but it was then I hit a problem. When I try to install it I'm told a previous version is already installed, and to uninstall the previous version first.
    The problem is when I go to the Device Manager and try and find the driver, the only entry there's for a "Marvell Yukon 88E8040T PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller" , but the driver I was prompted to install was for a Marvell Miniport Driver.
    At the time I simply ignored it, thinking the update wasn't relevant to me, but since then I've had a number of BSODs - the latest this afternoon - and in all the cases when Windows has finished doing it's error reporting thing, it comes back with the advice that I need up update the Marvell Yukon Semiconductor driver...and directs me to the same download that I was originally directed to by the Tempro alert. Of course again, it tells me I have to uninstall the previous version before installing it, but as I can't find a previous version of this Miniport driver to uninstall there's nothing I can do about it, so again I ignore it. Everything appears to be working fine (apart from my ongoing dropped internet connection problems with my wireless network and the fact that I can't seem to set up a wired connection (maybe because of this driver problem?), but then sooner or later I get a BSOD again, and it blames the Marvell Yukon driver, and I'm back to square one again. I've had the BSOD now 4 or 5 times over the last month.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Hello
    Have you tried to roll back the OS to earlier time using system restore tool?
    Try it and let us know if everything works well again. If yes leave it and be happy without updates.

  • Ethernet Driver Not Installed and Yet It Is - Network useless

    Device Manager reports the network port on my W500 (4063-3FU) suddenly lacks a driver (Code 28). This is odd since I had manually installed it myself during the upgrade to a 64 bit (Win7 x64 SP1) ... because even the recent SystemUpdate utils don't work very well (as evidenced by the many tips on the forum to manually install things in a certain order).
    Multiple attempts to install Lenovo's latest network driver manually appeared to go smoothly, but Windows still says there's no driver. Astra32 calls it an Unknown device which may be odd, and the diagnostic tool "Lenovo Service Center" (LSC) is too vaue to be of use. I am adding screenshots .
    So I let Device Manager and Windows Update try to get an updated driver,but it could never find a driver. Or it would get various errors (Red X marks that tell the user nothing useful).  
    Programs & Features shows what i think may be the entry (highlighted in blue) for the network/port/driver but it's vague. I've been reluctant to uninstall it just yet.
    Does anyone know what I should do next? I need to get the network port going.

    What about the blue-highlighted entry in the last graphic (from Programs & Features)... Might that be the LAN driver? How could I check?
    When I go here for  the LAN driver
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu
    It says Ethernet driver (Intel PRO/1000 LAN adapter software) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad is the driver for the W500.
    The page on the network chipset is here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu/downloads/DS019225
    The network chip should be one of these: Intel® 82567LM Gigabit Network ConnectionIntel® 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
    Question is, how do I get the system to evaluate the network hardware? LSC is useless.

  • Unable to use ethernet after updating to OS X 10.10.2

    I updated my Mac Mini (late 2012) yesterday from OS X 10.10.1 to OS X 10.10.2.
    After I updated, I noticed that under Networks in System Preferences, OS X indicated that I had a cable unplugged for my ethernet connection.
    I checked the cable and even replaced it.
    This did not fix the issue.
    I tried rebooting a few times and ethernet seemed to become available, but if I used it, after a few minutes the system would seize up and reboot on its own.
    This did not fix the issue.
    I've deleted my location profile (under Network in System Preferences), shut down my Mac Mini, booted back up and tried creating a new location profile, but there is no longer an "Ethernet" interface available to add to my new location profile. I do however have both a "Thunderbolt Bridge" and "Thunderbolt 1" option in the list of available interfaces. I think this is a bug, because when I try to add the "Thunderbolt 1" interface, it doesn't appear in the list of interfaces for my current location.
    This did not fix the issue.
    I've re-installed OS X 10.10.2 twice using the full installer downloaded from the Mac App Store: once from the Mac Mini itself, and once from a USB I created.
    This did not fix the issue.
    My Wi-Fi connection works fine, but ethernet is no longer available.
    If I shut down my Mac Mini and try to boot manually with the ethernet cable connected, sometimes it will refuse to boot, or will boot but will stay stuck on the grey boot screen with no Apple logo and no progress bar visible.
    How can I re-enable ethernet?

    Update:
    For no apparent reason that I can think of, I began having connectivity issues over Wi-Fi; but only with certain applications such as Safari, Mac App Store, Google Drive, and Steam. Google Chrome was completely unaffected. I was also able to use Microsoft Remote Desktop over LAN without issue, and the Windows computer I would connect to didn't experience any internet connectivity issues.
    Not sure why this was happening, I restarted.
    After a few minutes following the restart, OS X froze like it used to before.
    I reset the SMC.
    The system would keep freezing after a few minutes.
    I booted into safe mode and saw the Ethernet interface was now again listed under Networks.
    I then restarted and tried to begin the AHT, but the system freezes completely after a few minutes every time I start testing.
    I gave up trying to perform the AHT and booted normally.
    The system would keep freezing after a few minutes.
    So I eventually gave up and had to delete the Ethernet interface from Networks.
    Now OS X doesn't freeze, but I'm back to only using Wi-Fi again.
    None of this fixed the issue.

  • Moving to an external Ethernet Drive - Libraries and Photos are a mess - Cant Find Images

    I am in the process of wanrting to consolidate my LR3 files to an 2TB external ethernet drive (connected via airport extreme).  First, are there any issue with using the networked drive.  I've heard that there may be.
    Second, my libraries and photos are all over the place.  I cant seem to find the proper catalgues and sometimes files go missing or offline.  So, duringn this move to the new 2TB drive, I want to use this opportunity to find and move all the LR3 "stuff" i can and make the workflow better organized.
    How can I simply do that???
    Thanks!

    First, let me suggest that there are two issues here ... Storage (exactly where your photos and catalog file are located) and organization (how do you find/search for the photo(s) of interest. These are different issues.
    First ... storage:
    You can move your photos and catalog file anywhere to meet your storage needs. You move the catalog file simply by moving it in Windows or Mac Finder to the internal HD (or any other non-network drive). Recommended: put the catalog file on your fastest hard disk. Recommended: move the previews (that are located in subfolders where the catalog is) along with the catalog file. Once moved, you open it by double-clicking on it.
    You can move your photos anywhere you want them to be, including a network drive. Although I recommend you move them in Lightroom so as to not break the links, you can also move the folders outside of Lightroom and then reconnect (in the folder panel, right-click on a folder and select "Update Folder Location").
    Now, you have your files whereever you want them to be. They are stored properly. It makes sense to consolidate your photos on a single drive if possible, and it makes sense to set things up for ease of backup (i.e. all photos in subfolders under a single parent folder) but other storage schemes are fine if they meet your needs.
    Next ... Organization
    This is how you set things up so that you can find a specific photo(s) quickly. I strongly recommend that this be done in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata and collections. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by moving this folder to that location or folder hierarchy to help you be able to find things. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by renaming photos or folders. Leave them whereever they are (after you have met your storage needs above), and organize via keywords. Assign keywords and metadata religiously to your photos. Keywords give you much more organizational power than folders, because you can have many many keyworkds assigned to a photo, but a photo can be in only a single folder.
    I strongly recommend consolidating things into a single catalog. This will enable you to search for any photo, because you have one catalog. If you have multiple catalogs, and catalog A is open, you cannot search for a photo in catalog B.
    Once all of this is complete, your photos are where you want them (storage) on your networked drive, your catalog (singular, not plural) is on your fastest disk (storage) and your photos are completely well organized in Lightroom, enabling you to search for them quickly, using the Lightroom filter bar, the keyword panel, or smart collections.

  • Xp ethernet driver

    Right I am new to Mac's and this forum so hello everyone.
    My problem is with bootcamp and ive only found one forum entry on the net that points to this isuue so i hope you lot can help me.
    I've got Mac OS X 10.6.7 and have decided i also need xp on a partition to run Solidworks for work. I went through the bootcamp setup wizard.
    1) set a partition of 80Gb using NTFS
    2) installed xp pro from my install cd and used my cd key.
    3)it booted from that partition and went to the logon screen but is prompting me to activate my copy of xp, not a problem normally when i install to a pc. BUT i cannot connect to the internet as the ethernet drivers are not installed yet so i tried the telephone way but it will not show the ID for registering on the telephone as i have no ethernet driver!
    Therefore i am stuck as i cannot access the normal desktop until i have activated and i cannot activate because i cannot load the drivers from the OS X cd. I tried in safe mode but it will not install the bootcamp exe or recognise any of the drivers.
    Please help, someone else must have this problem.
    Its a Macbook 2.16 dual core running mac os x 10.6.7 and xp pro sp2 on the partition with proper cd and key.
    Many thanks.

    Are you now using Boot Camp 3.2 drivers, after installing off OS X DVD 3.0 and upgrading a couple times.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    Sometimes even with Apple drivers you still want/need to update audio, ethernet, graphics drivers yourself.
    Then add what I think is the best AV -
    Microsoft Security Essentials
    There are a number of people running SolidWorks I know from over the years here.

  • Add external ethernet drive to time capsule

    Hi!
    Is possible to attach an external ethernet drive (Seagate or Western) to the timecapsule to expand storage space?
    Thanks!
    J

    Hey Bob,
    Thanks for your response! I have no need to back up onto the 2nd drive through Time Machine.
    Basically the 2nd drive is an offsite back up of an archive, so doesn't even need to be updated.
    I was actually looking at purchasing a regular FW drive, but saw the ethernet drives are pretty cheap. The ethernet option will mean it is faster to upload my files, and if plugged into the Time Capsule I was thinking I could access the files remotely if need be. Would that work?
    I just wasn't sure if the Time Capsule would immediately recognise the 2nd drive through the ethernet connection. Will there be much (network) tweaking? I'm not too savvy in that regard. I was hoping it would just plug and play like a FW drive, but visible on my network.
    Thanks!

  • Microsoft Update and Hardware driver updates

    Question is do you use them or not?  I have the following driver updates showing up as optional for my machine:
    Intel - Network - Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
    nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
    Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-R Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
    Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
    I know I had talked to Toshiba Customer/Technical Service and that individual had told me not to use those.  I have been told by others to go ahead and use them since they are Windows/Microsoft "approved" from those manufacturers.
    Thank you for your assistance and opinion.

    The Toshiba support technican is right;  the 'others' are wrong.  Do not install driver updates from Microsoft.  They are 'generic' updates, and will not work correctly in your Toshiba.

  • Internet doesn't work with Killer Ethernet driver installed! PLEASE HELP!

    Hi guys,
    First of all I might as well start off by saying that I recently upgraded my system to a new build, and so bought some new parts. The motherboard I chose was a MSI z87 gd65 gaming and by gosh is it good to look at, my only problem is that when I install the driver of the disc is that the Killer Ethernet driver doesn't allow me to get internet access (but I am connected to my router).
    I have reset windows, reinstalled the driver, restarted my pc, made the bios default and it still persists not to work! I am not sure if it doesn't won't to work with windows 8 because I had to boot from the installation cd. I can't update to windows 8.1 either because I don't have the internet connect/access Nd I can't get another driver because of the same reason!
    Has anyone else come across this issue?

    Remove Killer driver and suite using >>Killer Cleaner<<. After reboot just install pure drivers: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0

  • HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

    On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
    A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not.  The machine is XP SP3.
    If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
    1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
    2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems? 
    Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver update?

    How is this done? I can update it in my Boot Camp installation running WinXP but how do I update it under MacOS X? Is it included in the regular OS updates or do I have to do something else? I noticed the other day that there's an update for the 8- series ( which would be what I have if I'm not totally mistaken ) among others.

    I don't believe there are any driver updates for OS X.

  • Not able to add driver update during Solaris 10 installation on IBM x3550

    I am facing a problem with installation of Solaris 10 on IBM x3550.
    My question is not specific to IBM server.
    I am trying to add SAS driver during Solaris 10 installation. I selected option "Apply device driver update" (option # 4). It is asking to insert driver disk. But only showing floppy (f) and cdrom (c).
    IBM server 3550 doesnt have floppy drive and I have the driver image only in a USB stick. Unfortunately, Solaris 10 installation is not showing usb device during driver installation.
    Is there any way we can add usb device to the driver update disk list??
    Thanks in advance.

    Does no one have an idea?

  • Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

    I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
    Things I've tried:
    # booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
    # connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
    # I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
    I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
    A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

    No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
    # It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
    # The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
    Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
    Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.
