K8N NEO2 Platinum Nvidia Ethernet Issue

Hello,
My On-board Nvidia Ethernet controller is detected by Windows in the device manager, however when I go to view Network Connections there is no entry for the Nvidia Ethernet. When I ran ipconfig it returned the following for the connection:
Ethernet adapter {3E28B538-39E2-4C17-A90A-4BB348EE07ED}:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.254.183

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::211:9ff:fe99:b341%7
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
I am running Windows XP SP2 with an AMD 64 3200, 1GB of RAM and a 6800 video card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

v1.9b6? Where do I get that?
I'm waiting for the official released BIOS. Does MSI realy want to provide us BIOS for supporting E3 and X2? AMD already announced these model for a while. Didn't MSI get any engineer sample from AMD for new BIOS development?

K8N Neo2 Platinum - Nvidia MAC Address

I built a new system with the K8N Neo2 Platinum that came with the 1.9 Bios already installed. It also comes with the nVidia MAC address bug.
Since I already had the 1.9 Bios installed, I tried the suggestion that I try to update it thru the main bios screen. I chose Integrated Peripherals, then pressed SHIFT+F2 then ALT+F3 to reveal extra options. One option was to type in the correct nVidia MAC address, however it had been highlighted in blue with an X next to the selection. Meaning it was N/A to be changed. Has anyone been able to get this to work? Is the only way to reestablish the correct address by reflashing the 1.9 bios again with the dos commands inputing the correct address?

i also had problems with my k8n neo board when i flahed it to 1.8 and 1.9 it got totaly up i had to do it back to 1.7
with 1.8 it woulnd boot or i wasnt able to instal clean windows and with
1.9 i had the same thing that mac stuff i got a weird mac error when booting and it kept hanging there
now with 1.7 it works good again also in 1.8 in bios the temp display was high again
well if there are more peeps with that errors they should report it

K8N Neo2 Platinum RAID Boot Issue...

Hi everyone,
I am running two WD 120gb drives in single-drive mode. Everything is working fine. My issue is that every time I boot, I have to wait nearly 10 seconds for a message that says 'Detecting Array' just before it loads WinXP. The thing is, I have RAID disabled in the BIOS. How do I get rid of this annoying boot message?
Any help would be appreciated!

The are still making the K8N Neo2- F which is the same thing except no firewire and one gigabyte lan instead of two lans. Otherwise, same mobo with same bios. MSI 7025.
or if you´re lucky and your reseller has them in stock..that was my case wus supposed to change my cpu cooler(amd athlon 64 3500+(venice) ) removed everything...to note...I did this with another friend..so after a little while when all the things were on place I hade to take a number 2, when I got back the comp was all fixed and my friend asks me to start it..I start it and nothing happens..turns out that he had used all of the copper paste and drenched the socket and the spu...so i tested the cpu and it had survived, but the motherboard was all dead..so I rma´d it as u guys say and I got the same modell back and everything worlks perfectly...and as for my friend...he has two blue eyes @ the moment :P

Download Problems with K8N Neo4 Platinum Nvidia Ethernet Controller

Just to ask if there is some basic setup for Nvidia network drivers in Windows or in BIOS since I'm having download errors with a DSL connection when i use the Nvidia networking controller, not depending from the OS I'm booting (WinXP Pro SP2 or WinXP pro 64). When I download using the Marvell Yukon controller everything works fine in both operating systems. Additional specs:
K8N Neo 4 Platinum (latest MSI Nforce4 drivers)
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2GB Transcend RAM
EVGA 6600 GT 128MB PCI-E

Open up the nvidia firewall.
Click on 'Active Armour'
Click on 'Application'
change the setting from 'offloadable' to 'notoffloadable'
This solves the download problem.
Indigian, you are The Man!!!!!
That solved it !!! Thank you very much!

K8N Neo2 Platinum Nvidia LAN Device

Hi!
I'm having trouble with my Nvidia Onboard NIC. The Problem seems to be known. The NIC worked okay but suddenly the local Network was gone. At this point ping still worked! After i changed the IP it stopped working at all. I can change duplex settings and the NIC switches the modes but i cant ping. It's dead.
Ofcourse i tried several hints i found here, but nothing helps. Neither changing the drivers (i tried 5.03, 5.10, some beta drivers and the newest), nor unplugging the power. I even reinstalled Windows. Still dead.
I really hope someone comes along with another advice, else the board has to be sent to MSI...
Greets,
planet

Hi again , not any answers from any other eh .
Well , there is a possibility thet the port or some of it's connectors is malfunctioning .
A quick way to test this is to make a loop plug taking the tx pair from the port and loop it back to the ports rx-pair .
Then if you get connection icon (connection=up) in windows the port is working as it sees its own tx bit stream/signal received on it's rx .
A loop plug
RJ45-plug Wires
Pin1 --> pin6
Pin2 --> pin3
If you have installed Nvidia driver packege with the NAM (network access manager / firewall )
Please try without .
Anyway , you have two ethernet ports on the board , and should atlest get one working .
Realtek drivers is needed for the other one , they shuold be on the mobo utility/driver cd .
RJ connector PINs
tx+ orange/white (pin1)
tx- orange (pin2)
rx+ green/white (pin3)
rx- green (pin6)

K8N NEO2 Platinum Power off issue

More often than not lately, when I shut windows down, it just hangs at the powering off screen and does not actually power off. I have push the power button to complete shut down. Using Syar's easy Bios 1.C. Anyone with a fix? Thanks

Hello !!
I know it sounds a bit crazy but please try to set your windows swap file on the same partition ( C:\ ) like windows is.
I have heard people fixed their shutdown problem with it.....
Good luck
Greetz MurdoK
Yes, that is correct, I have had this problem before on another system where the swap file was on another partition, but not the case here. Swap file is on C:\
Thanks to all for the info, I really appreciate it and please keep it coming.

K8N Neo2 platinum & 750g sata RAID issue

Hi there I have an issue with booting up. I have 1 200g Western digital HDD where windows is installed and I have 1 further 500g WD drive which were both fine until I decided to buy 2 samsung 750g HDD's to run in RAID. I have installed the drives in RAID and formatted but I am having a problem with booting.
If I reset, the computer keeps rebooting at the detection stage, powers off and keeps doing it over and over. Sometimes it will go through if you wait long enough. When I turn the power on and off it will go through the detection stage no worries every time but then at the XP loading screen it will freeze there. Sometimes it goes through and I will boot into XP fine and other times I can't get in.
I have the latest Bios 7025V1D but I am wondering if this issue is bios related because of the 750g size... The problem has only started since I have installed the two 750g HDD's in RAID. Does this bios version support 750g HDD's? Is there an updated BIOS to fix this problem somewhere?
I have 2gig of ram, 3500+ processor, latest Nforce3 drivers from Nvidia, RAID drives on sata ports/3/4, 500gig WD on sata port 1, 200 gig WD is HDD is IDE, Windows SP2 and all updated, ummmmmm everything else is fine I'm fairly sure.
I had a few troubles installing the RAID drivers because windows didn't want to accept the drivers I downloaded from here and did not want to accept the drivers in windows. I ended up getting it the drives to come on-line through the use of START/NVIDIA corp/ NVIDIA RAID program (cant remember the name, typing this on another computer).
Any ideas would be greatly and very muchly appreciated!
Terry.

Ok My PSU is: WideTECH 550w, +3.3v=33a, +5v=36a, +12v=25a, -12v=1.0a, +5vsb=2.5a.
I am only running 3 HDD's at the moment, the 2 750's and the 1 200gig. I have left the other 500gig unplugged until I get this problem sorted. I don't have a cd rom plugged in or a floppy. I only connect them when I need to because this computer is setup to be a storage server and I use my other pc for anything dvd related etc. The only other thing which is chewing power is the video card which is an old 6800gt ultra. So basically the power issue was fine until I installed the two extra HDD's and as I have unplugged the 500gig for the time being its only really one extra HDD which shouldn't be an issue. Oh I have two 80mm case fans using the psu aswell.
As for my other specs: I have 1 gig of Geil dual channel RAM 2x512 sticks, CPU=AMD Athlon64 3500+, MB is MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum, Vid card= Leadtek geforce 6800gt ultra 256 agp, You know about my HDD's but here they are again= 1x 200g WD caviar IDE, 1x 500g WD caviar sata(1 I think), 2 x 750g samsung sata (2 I think), OS = XP Home SP2 with all lasest automatic updates, latest BIOS etc etc etc....
My windows is a legit copy as well.
You mentioned putting my HDD's into sata 1 mode... I was of the opinion that my motherboard does not support sata2 anyway and would not allow them to run in anything but sata1?? If I did want to change the sata mode where would I do this anyway?
Thanks for your reply but I don't think it has to do with psu or sata mode although I'm interested about this sata2 thing, please explain.
Thanks in advance,
Terry.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum; ethernet probs!?

Hey guys,
I'm having problems getting my DSL hooked up to my new PC. I'm using a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, and according to my ISP phone-tech, the problem is with my "NIC".??
When examining the back of the PC, the slot where my ethernet cord is connected is green accompanied by yellow blinking. All lights on the Speedstream 5100 modem itself are green... No probs in the device manager... Switched ethernet cable from top to bottom port... Flahsed/Updated my BIOS from ver1.5 to ver1.8... Still have blinking yellow light... unable to connect to the internet on my new PC.
(Blinking light appears on both (top & bottom) ethernet ports when i have it plugged in)
Can someone point me in the direction of what to do / which drivers i need to install/uninstall...!?
Need help... Any is welcome.
The PC: Athlon 3500+ / 1 GB RAM / 80GB SATA WD / 250 GB 16M Cache IDE Maxtor / Geforce 6800GT / MSI K8N Nforce 2 Platinum

Doh, i seem to have taken a few step backwards...!
I returned the modem for another (brand = 2-wire gateway)... Still unable to connect; problems are similar, but let me tell you....
I have uninstalled all nvidia drivers --- went back to the drivers on CD. In Device Manager all devices are OK. I have both the nvidia LAN & MAC LAN ports enabled. Everything seems to be default settings (exception: i disabled windows firewall). Also I did not install nvidia FIREWALL option during install.
I plug in new modem... it boots, but middle light (broadband link light) is solid orange. According to the 2-wire site/faq
--- Broadband Link light ---
Solid orange - The HomePortal has established a physical broadband connection but was not able to successfully connect to your Internet Service Provider, or has not yet been configured. (can't PPPoE login. Username/Password failure or the other end is fubared.)
With this set-up; i am unable to run REPAIR on nvidia LAN connection (unable to restore IP); under the nvidia connection details: packets are being sent, but none recieved...
Ok, now get this.... I plug ethernet cord into the MAC LAN port; go to Network Connections; packets are being sent/recieved //// I am able to repair the connection.... yet the broadband link light = solid orange still!!
Next, I use the USB connection for the new modem, it asks for software/drivers... place install CD in... all lights = green... I AM able to connect!!!!!!!
probably, problem was i didn't load software from CD with the ethernet connection goin... !? (me = idiot !)
I'm gonna reinstall WinXP now... and hope to duplicate results, but on the ethernet wire (running SBC software)... if all else fails, i'll just prob set up the USB set-up..!
Thanks for your patience fellas...

K8N NEO2 PLATINUM HANGS WITH NVIDIA, WORKS WITH ATI???????????

HI
I have endless problems with nivida cards on a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM board. I have tried 4 different nvidia cards and they all hang on any 3D app or game. NFSU2 looks like it lags in the menu already. It stops for 2 sec then goes again for about 10 secs.
Slot in any ATI grachics card and it works 100% for hours with no problems. I am runnig a 480W Antec psu aslo, so there is no power problem.
Anybody have any idea???????????????????

well..i tried to oc my vid with 78.01 my comp rebooted in just a few seconds of game play...so i reset clock speeds to stock...got rid of 78.01's and installed 80.40 betas...so far so good..and i got this email replay from BFG asking for any fixes..here's a summary of what they said
"If you check the HardOCP forums as well as many others, issues with NF3 chipset motherboards are rampant. They seem to be limited to the implementation of a 64-bit processor with AGP architecture cards, fast ones in particular, but NOT limited to NVIDIA cards. People with fast ATI cards have the same issues... so don't act without investigating.
We have no point of action we can do for you in the matter. The chipset and drivers for it are made by NVIDIA, then implemented by different companies on their products. The exact same can be said for the GPU, chipset on the graphics cards and drivers for them. We're a manufacturer who uses their technology and unified drivers for our cards, but we make "OC" cards that run faster than NVIDIA designed their GPU and chips to run. NVIDIA can't control "how" the companies implement their technology, but makes every effort to create drivers to accommodate issues that crop up during the product 'life-cycle'."
ill say this...i personally havent seen anyone with an ATI having this issue..if anyone knows of that...please let me know...as much as i bashed ATI....i feel like im left with no choice but to buy one(x850xt pe)if no one plans on fixing this for us..any imput is appreciated

Now... don't LOL, but there is a reason I picked the 3200+ instead of the 3000+, but I can't remember why???
Probably because the 3000+ only has a 9x maximum multiplier, whereas the 3200+ will go to 10x.
2600MHz at 9x means a FSB of 289MHz and ram at 289MHz for best performance. Will your ram do 289MHz? Of course you *can* run your memory and fsb async, but I prefer not to.

K8N Neo2 Platinum + Winchester 3200.. flabbergasting FSB issue

OK, here goes the issue:
I just got a brand new K8N Neo2 Platinum - Bios 1.4 and a box 3200 Winchester CPU. The crazy thing is the FSB - it is set to 200 Mhz in the Bios, but in real-time it happens to be something like 200.95 Mhz. No idea how to fix this - as a result the CPU goes at 2010 Mhz, while obiviously it should run at 2000Mhz. There are also some stability problems, like random hangups in Windows. My ram is 2x512 Kingston HyperX PC4000.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Also about your "hang up" deal... Post more detailed specs on your system - You'll get better help that way.

Sound Issues /w K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hello, I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum and I am having trouble wit the sound. I have installed the drivers on the nForce CD, but I cannot hear anything.
Any suggestions?

You should list what opperating system you're using aswell as the driver version that's giving you trouble, someone might spot a problem and be able to help you more easily, for instance if you're using XPx64 the drivers for XP wont work.
Maybe try downloading the latest version from Here or Here.
Also check in Device Mannager, does it say that there's a problem with your sound device or does it say it's working properly ?

K8N Neo2 Platinum Ordered - Advice for a noob please

Hi there,
this seems like a great forum, was hoping someone could give me some advice - Im trying to pre-empt any major probs....
I am a relative noob to building P.C's - done a few P4 based systems before but this will be my first Athlon based. This systems primary use will be gaming. I have the following on order (should be with me next week) : -
a) MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum Edition SCK 939 Motherboad
b) AMD ATHLON 64 3500+ 64bit SCK 939 Retail Inc Fan
c) 160GB Maxtor Calypso 8mb Cache 7200 SATA DHH
Components I have already
a) Graphics Card - Nvidia 6800 GT
b) Memory - Generic 2 X 512MB PC2700 DDR333 RAM
c) Sound Card - Creative SB Live Value
d) PSU - Jeantech 450W (22a on 12V Rail)
e) Case - pretty generic full tower case - no fans attached
f) CPU FAN - COOLERMASTER HYPER 48 SUPER SILENT HEATPIPE
g) Spare Hard drive - 120GB Maxtor IDE Hard drive
h) DVD Drives - 1 x Pioneeer 108 / 1 x Pioneer 104
I) Monitors - Ilyama 17" TFT & Toshiba 32WL36P LCD
I have some 'noobish' questions - apologies for my ignorance : -
1) Memory - Will my memory be okay ? Should I ditch it and buy some Corsair DDR400 (which everyone else seems to have!). Will performance suffer if I stick with the DDR 333 ? Do I need to adjust settings in BIOS regarding memory timing ? (I only picked up on this from reading through other posts on this board, and am totally clueless on 'timing'- Ive never needed to adjust timing on any previous PC's....!)
2) Sound Card - will I be better off sticking with the onboard sound on the MSI K8N neo 2 ? Or for best performance do I go with the SB LIve ? (god its a nightmare trying to get updated drivers for this card), Would I get a noticable performance increase buying an Audigy 2?
3) Vcore / other power issues - Reading this forum Im kinda scared by many posts along the lines of "..for stability I need to change my memory voltage to xx-V" or "...for a stable system I needed to change my Vcore to xx-V". Will I need to change the Bios default values on this system just to get it to run stably??
4) CPU FAN - Are AMD stock fans any good ? My Hyper 48 is quite highly rated....
5) Im completely new to SATA drives, but Ive printed off the very useful install guide on this site (which I intend to use). Is there anything I need to look out for concerning adding my IDE drive also.
I think thats about it just now - if anyone can see any other potential problems with my specs then please let me know. Im really not trying to be negative / pessimistic - after all the reason I have went for this motherboard is that it is rated as one of the best. Im just a bit paranoid that the dreaded B.S.O.D awaits me!
On a more positive note - does anyone have similar system specs they use for gaming ? How well does HL2 / Doom3 / Farcry etc fly J ? I cant wait !
Thanks for the time

K8N Neo2 Platinum troubles.

This will be my first post here, and I hate it to be a problem post. Anyway, I built my own computer about 2 months ago, and I seem to have a problem with 2D applications. Here is my setup before I show you what I mean.
Mobo MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
CPU Athlon 64 3000+ S939
PSU Antec 350W
GPU PNY Geforce 6800GT 256MB AGP
200GB Maxtor SATA HD
Sony DVD-RW
1 GB Mushkin PC3200 DDR Ram
OS Windows XP Pro
Ok, here is my exact problem. I seem to have trouble playing most MPEG, AVI, and WMV video types. I say most, because some will work ok. I have a picture of my problem here:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/ZeroX585/hmm.jpg
There seem to be lines that appear across my video, and some 2D games such as Doom, Zsnes, and Worms world party. They also seem to appear when certain colors are shown during playback of videos and games, (mostly the darks and blacks.) 3D games work FINE, (Half Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry are perfect). No errors what so ever. I have also noticed that this happens also when the program is dependent on some DirectX resources. I have uninstalled and reinstalled DX9 about 3 times, I have my latest Graphics drivers, I have my latest Windows Updates, I have the latest Mobo chipset drivers and such as well. I have also installed Windows XP again. I am not certain that this is a complete motherboard issue, as I do not have parts to switch out, but I am lost as to what I can do next. I HAVE replaced the GPU with an older ATI Radeon 9000, and it still happens. I highly doubt that the problem would lie within the CPU, but it's probable. I have reseated all the parts in the computer, and checked over my motherboard to make sure there isn't any damage to it. I am lost as to what I can do next though.
There is one thing I have noticed though, is if I go into my Display Properties and take the Hardware Acceleration tab down to "Disable all Direct 3D and Direct Draw Accelerations", the 2D programs work FINE. But if it goes even one notch up, it goes back to the lines. Anyone know what this could be related to?? Thank you for your help.

Before I had my 6800 GT, I was using the Radeon 9000, and I did use Driver Cleaner 3 to remove the Radeon driver. I also used Driver Cleaner when I update the Nvidia drivers, and I've done this a few times as well. I've tried using the Nvidia direct drivers (Current version), and I am currently using the PNY version of the Nvidia drivers, all the while using Driver cleaner to remove the old drivers before installing the new ones. I have not tried any games or videos in safe mode though, I think I will do that. I will get a screen shot of Doom if I can. By the way, I am not certain what you mean by "Be sure to run the Nvidia option, not the Nforce option."

The build in firewall in MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hello everyone,
I am using an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G nForce3. I wonder if anyone else is using the built in firewall? I have some problems with my Internet connection and I think it is firewall related.
I would like to know if anyone else has any valuable feedback on this subject.
Thank you!

Works fine for me, make sure you have the latest drivers installed and turn off any other firewall including the Windows one. You will find that you may have to set up some rules to open up ports for some apps. I have set mine up to play Farcry and now get no Punkbuster problems.
I am using the Nvidia ethernet to connect toe the internet and the Realtek to network my second PC.
