K7N2G-L Onboard network card broken?

Hi,
I have problem to get connected with other computers i.e ping is not working.
Could it be that network card is broken. Other proof is that when I try to reinstall v.3.75 drivers it hangs everytime to same place where is says that it's installing ethernet controller...
Pls help
thanks
-Astir

ok, sorry for too quick post .
here is mine specs:
K7n2G-L
3000+ sempron
1GB 400DDR
radeon 9800 pro
antec truepower 380W
3 ATA HDDs
Windows XP
Well, to not be going too deeply to network problems, I just wonder what can be when this installer hangs to that same point everytime (I have to boot comp to get over it).
Device manager says that its working properly...
driver date: 27.11.2002
driver version: 3.1.3.0
hmm nothing else came to my mind, but pls let me know if something else is needed.
thanks

Onboard Network Card problems?

ok, I started having the following errors and warnings in the event logger after having upgraded my bios to the 2.00 version.
EVENTID: 1003 & 1006 SOURCE: Dhcp - Warning
EVENTID: 2505 SOURCE: Server - Error
I can still use ixplorer, but all otherprogram that requires listening to ports like port 113 f.e. are unavailable. The system will produce a sound whenever an error occurs.
any suggestions?

thnx for the links Toxteth O'Grady
I am not sure I understand the erromessage of event 2505 though:
"The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetbiosSmb because another computer on the network has the same name. The server could not start."
There is noone else on my network with the same named computer as mine. By name, it is my understanding, it's the network ID?
Nor do I understand the ID 1003:
"Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 000C76205A46. The following error occured:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server."
Things I've done so far:
*setting a new ID name for the computer
*renewing and releasing the ipadresse.
*checking for program that might be blocking the 113 port
*installed new driver on Network card
*cursed at the screen and the beeps
*reinstalled the tcp/ip protocols
is there any program that I might run to troubleshoot my connectivity, check my ports, look for network errors, etc?

Network card: e1000g (Intel PRO/1000 MT) did not working properly

Hi to everyone!
I'm having some strange trouble.
All computers attached to one DLink gigabit switch
Server #1:
nf4-based motherboard, Intel PRO/1000 MT net card, onboard net card (forcedeth driver used) Ubuntu Linux 2.6.25 kernel version.
All just working.
Server #2:
nf6-based motherboard, same Intel net card, SunOS 5.11 snv_86.
All just working.
Server #3:
Same as server's #1 nf4-based motherboard. Same onboard card. Same SunOS 5.11 snv_86 as server #2 have installed.
Its work. BUT..
Intel card is not working as expected.
It is seen by system. It is properly up and running. It is sending packent and receiving packets. Ierrs=Oerrs=Collis=Queue=0.
But thru e1000g0 interface no one computer can reach this one, and from server #3 no one computer is seen thru e1000g0. Exept...
Except two old Sunray1 devices (attached to the same switch for testing purposes)! But even these devices seen only by arp requests, and is not pingable.
It is some mistery, but if I turn on jubmo frames, these rays got a picture from SRSS, testing on this sevrer! Not for long, heh, they hung up fast, but this is proof a physical connection :)
So, I can not disable onboard network card on Server #3 - server becoming unreachable :(
I know, those network cards must work on Solaris - as they did it on server #2. I know, those network cards work with my nf4-based motherboards - as they did it on server #1.
But I can't uderstand, whait is going on with e1000g driver on server #3!
P.S. Kernel driver e1000g settings are the same. All difference from servers #2 and #3 is: #2 had Intel netcard installed then Solaris was setting up, and #3 had Intel netcard installed later. All netcards are working (I trying to swap them from one computer to another - did not change anything).

*) #3 thinks it is sending, but a NIC/driver error prevents it.NIC is fully health. It is tested on another PC. Driver error - or driver's bad implementation - is the one I'm thinking.
*) #3 has a bad transmit pair of wires (would affect all communication)This patchcord works w/o problems on other PCs and even on onboard NIC of server #3.
*) Network problemsHeh :)
*) Firewall or other device is dropping the ARP repliesIt is some very stealthy and very selective firewall, affecting only external NICs :)
BTW, then cord is attached to NIC, it sends "who has this IP" requests, asking to be shure there will not be an IP conflict. No one seen this requests.
*) #1 has a NIC/driver error preventing it from seeing the reply.Only for send from #3? It is like a firewall on #3 :) And, there is more PCs, not only #1-#3. No one can see #3's replays (or asks), not only #1..
I'm repeating: this PC works in network now on onboard NIC w/o problems. But onboard NIC is only 100 Mb/s, and we need 1 Gb/s.
I was thinking, Solaris took wrong MAC for NICs - but not, ifconfig shows the same MACs as marked on NICs.
Even more, yesterday i plumbed e1000g1 - second Intel NIC in server #3. And I was surprised - it worked perfectly!
But I make "touch /reconfigure; init 6" - and after reboot, no one of two Intel NICs working again :( They both have the same behavior - no one can see packets they sends.)
I even try to restrict connection on 100 Mb/s by driver's .conf modify - it works, link become yellow instead of green (take a note, NIC is able to "speak" properly with switch!), but all other stay the same.
Strange, really strange behavior. More strange is a fact this NICs work on another instance of same SunOS, but on different motherboard, while the same MB with same NIC is working w/o problems under Ubuntu. Looks like some bug in Solaris driver.

Onboard vs. addon network cards

Suppose I buy a current, new XServe along with a PCI Express network card, also from Apple.
If I used the addon network interface instead of the onboard one, would I get better, about the same, or worse performance compared to the onboard?
Alternatively, could I use both interfaces in a 4-port trunk (link aggregation) without major problems?
Thanks very much.

I'd expect performance to be similar.
Note, performance with Leopard will be better than with Tiger, by a fair amount.
Not sure on the 4-port link aggregation. I've seen 4-port link aggregation with SmallTree's drivers way back in the Panther days at a customer site; I haven't tried more than 2 ports personally.

PCI USB2 Controller card conflicts with network card

I've installed a PCI USB2 controller card since my motherboard (IWill K266-R) only has support for USB1. However, the card seems to conflict with one of my network cards, because traffic on the internet-connected NIC is very slow, and often drops completely. Traffic to and from the other (local) NIC seems to work fine, though.
I have tried moving around all three cards in different PCI slots, I think I've tested almost every possible combination by now. I've also tried disabling as much as possible in BIOS, such as onboard sound, serial and parallel ports etc. I've tried lowering the FSB.
For now, I've removed the controller card, and is using the USB1 ports on the motherboard instead. This is very frustrating, though.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can try next? I've browsed forums, both this and others, but I haven't found any more hints on what to try. Could there be some setting in Arch that could affect these sorts of things?

"I guess the ATA100 card will work fine correct?"
If you mean large drive support, it may provide that or may require a firmware update to do so. You should check the manufacturer's web site for specifics. All ATA-133 cards do provide 48-bit LBA for large drive support. I'd return the Ultra ATA-66 card to the eBay seller, although many refuse to pay for return shipping, even when the mistake is their own, either through ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation. In cases such as this, it's sometimes more cost-effective to swallow the loss and keep the incorrect part.
"Will adding a jumper apply for a ATA100 card as well? I'll need a blue and gray ribbon correct?"
If you use an 80-conductor ribbon cable with color-keyed connectors, set the drive configuration jumper to CS and connect the drives to the cable as you wish (in terms of physical placement in the computer). If the ribbon cable doesn't have color-keyed connectors, set the jumper for the device connected to the end connector as Master and the drive (if any) connected to the middle connector as Slave.

Drivers for the sunfire v20z network card.

does any one know were i could find the drivers for the sunfire v20z network card. and does anyone know the chipset of the card?

That's a software question.
This is a hardware forum.
You didn't specify, but I'll presume you are not talking about any add-on card.
The necessary software packages for the onboard
broadcom BCM5703 gigabit (bge) circuitry are native to Solaris x86 (4/04 and newer).
Therefore they'll be on your OS installation CD's.
Just install the OS and rock-n-roll.

How to deauth. Photoshop CS3 on computer w/ dead network card?

Hi,
The network card on my ~4-6 years old Windows XP PC at work died and the tech guy said the network card is part of the motherboard so it would make more sense to just get a new machine instead of fixing the existing machine. Since I will be getting a new machine, I was wondering how to deauthorize the Photoshop CS3 that is currently on the broken computer since I can't get on the network. I have the Photoshop CS3 install disk and codes and will need to reinstall Photoshop on the new machine once it arrives. Thank you.

and the tech guy said
I agree with Marian - any halfway savvy network admin usually has a cheap replacement card in reserve or an USB to Ethernet adaptor that just need to be plugged in. Even without the correct driver, they normally run as a "Generic ethernet card on adress XX:XX:XX:XX", they may just be locked into the slowest of modes. That aside, calling is of course the next best alternative. It's really no big deal, as long as your current install is still functioning and you are able to produce the verification code.

Update/Installation of itunes 10 disables network card

Installation of latest itunes version (10) results in disabling my network card. The only way I've been able to restore is a system restore. I own 3 ipods and am totally frustrated with support structure. I have tried the following with no success.
Uninstall all Apple software as per a support article. 1) itunes 2)Quicktie 3) Apple Soft Upd 4) Mobile Dev Sup 5) Bonjour 6) Apple Applic Supp. Followed by a manual cleanup of the associated program files director and system32 directories.
I finally located a version 9.1 download but get msg that later version is installed. I followed another support tip for renaming library. Tried with several previous library files and could not find one that would allow install to continue.
Does anyone have ideas? Please, please, please.

I am having the same problem here, and am EXTREMELY frustrated... I was so excited to download the new iPad OS. Argh, I hate iTunes. Have you found a solution? Okay so here are my details:
I'm operating a homemade PC on a FoxCon Motherboard, with a RealTek built in wired LAN port.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I first tried upgraded from within iTunes. needed to a computer restore to get network back up and running. Tested all the hardware first to ensure it wasn't hardware.
After retoring, iTunes was broke. I downloaded from the web and tried to install. iTunes was still broke, and the network died again.
Needed to do a system restore again.
Completely uninstalled iTunes from the system. Ran Windows Update to ensure I had all of the updated drivers.
Redownloaded and installed iTunes 10.1 again, and once again, it broken the network connection.
I downloaded the motherboard and LAN port drivers from their website on another machine, and installed them via a USB port on the machine with iTunes. No change.
I uninstalled iTunes again.
Called support
They had me setup a new user on the computer, then uninstall Bonjour, 2 Apple software (Mobile and serice), and Quicktime and restart the computer. When the computer came back on I logged in as the new user and the network was again broke.
Did system restore back to after I did the windows update earlier today.
He had me uninstall the apple services again, and then setup the new user. By the time I got to this point the network was down again.
He asked me to a restart, no fix.
He transfered me to a senior support person who didn't have any other ideas.
I tried using the iTunes installation file I saved from before to reinstall now that everything was off, hoping it might reset the network, it did not.
I've restored the system again back to the Windows Update earlier today and am very unsatisfyingly giving up and waiting for Apple's Support Engineers to get back to me in a few days. If anyone knows of any other solutions, my iPad will thank you after it gets updated.

Network card name switching.

Hello. I have a problem with NICs switching names. I followed Wiki and added 10-network.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d but it seems there is no effect.
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="11:11:11:11:11:11", name="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:11:11:11:11:11", name="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:00:11:11:11:11", name="eth2"
MAC addresses have been hidden but the one in my config are correct.
I have 1 NIC onboard (eth0) and one network card with dual port (eth1,eth2).
Also what is the difference beteen ATTR{address} and ATTRS{address}?
Wiki mentions something about:
With a recent version of udev, this problem should be solved automatically thanks to the /usr/lib/udev/write_net_rules program which runs the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules script which produces a 70-persistent-net.rules.
I can't find any of those files.

had the same problem. windows doesn't see the network card in device manager. what I did is disconnect completely my power cord from my psu , press the cmos clear button and wait 5 min. I reconnect my power cable and power on my pc and voila my network card was recognized by windows has a Ethernet controller. Then I installed the killer driver suite and it work ok. Be sure that you enable your network card in the bios.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming+Network card.

So I bought Intel Pro 1000GT Desktop Adapter, till I tried putting in my motherboard... IT DID NOT FIT ! I have to say that its the wrong one even tho I was told that it would fit...(Best Buy told me)
If Intel Pro 1000GT is indeed the wrong card for my motherboard, which Intel Pro 1000 would definitely fit?
My reason for getting adapter is due to Killer onboard network causing my pings in the game to elevates. normally 26ms and it tenfold to 100ms+. then back down to 26ms then 56ms, so on... I even called my ISP provider they said its working as it should. I even ping test on other PC, it works flawlessy. So before switching to a different ISP (WideOutWest currently), I have to verify that everything is not on my end. I even bought myself Motorola Surfboard SB6141, and that fixed the issue I HAD before but the elevations still persist.
I would love to have someone on here help me find the best Network Card for this MSI Z87 GD65 if possible. Thanks in advance!

Not really, I've never had to use a discrete net card as the onboard (my current MB has Intel built in) has worked fine on all the MSI MBs Iv'e had over the years. I did take a quick look at newegg and they have the PCIe Intel net cards for decent price. One of the 2 should be OK I would guess.
You posted that while I was looking those up at newegg. I suppose either one should be OK. I don't see much if any difference between the two of them.
I'll get the BLK model. Hopefully its good for playing games. Thank you so much for spending time working it out with me

RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Sean,
I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
IP address.
I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
it is IP1.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do,
the
nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even thoughmy
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address
it
finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in theenvironment
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine
Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses
for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
with
a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
set
the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
to
get
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forte is
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for example machine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot address instead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do, the
nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even though my
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address it
finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in the environment
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses are known
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always use the
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move on to
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with the client
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the first entry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do not have a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewall and
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine when the
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to load balance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listen on
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on both cards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
