Mega 865 wireless network problem.

Hi all,
New here and seeking a solution to a specific prob.
Have built a system from with a MSI Mega 865 Delux. P4 Chip, ATI all in wonder graphics/TV card, Maxstor 160 GB hDD.
System is specifically as a home entertainment/ video capture and record.
Problem with wireless networking.
I have a wireless network with three PCs all with USR wireless cards and a usr 8054 router which actually does little but extend the rance of the network, Internet connection is through host computer on a single channel ISDN line.
When I connect to the network with my Mega 865 (XP TO XP) the connection is massivly slow, in fact pages on the net refuse to load it is that slow.
The 865 is causing the host compiter to drop its connection to the router for about 50 % of the time, I can see its icon flashing red as the connection is dropped and returning to green as it reconnects.
It sounds like an incompatibility issue some where but I can't find anyone else with the same problems.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks, Epirb.

To my knowledge, the SP2 caused trouble for Mega 865 if a certain type of P4 CPU was installed (Prescott?)
That was so because this sort of CPU requires some "alternative" microcode to be loaded into it upon startup.
One published workaround was to replace certain file in the SP2 package with its predecessor from SP1,
another (more solid, IMHO) - to upgrade the BIOS of PC so this revised microcode is loaded with BIOS. At this point in time, I believe, the revised Mega 865 BIOS is available as an official release.
You are right, the issue is only with certain processors; see also (this includes the m-soft workaround too)

This revised bios is not available IMHO, one of our forum collegues managed to get a beta version of a new bios, which does the trick. If you need it give us a shout.

MEGA 865 wireless problem

I cannot not and have never been able to pick up any other wireless networks with my mega 865 mini pci wireless card. I have 3 access points within 5 metres of the pc and it is like the radio does not work or something.
The device says the radio is enabled, i have checked the antenna and it seems to be connected correctly.
Has anyone experienced this before?? or is the device faulty, or am i missing something.... Thanks

Below is something I posted a while back on the Mega 180. Not sure if it applies to the 865 but your problem sounds similar..
The only other tip I can give is to try connecting with and without MS's wireless zero configuration. I don't remember how I ended up on my Mega.... but using a variety of computers and wireless cards...sometimes it works great..... but when it doesn't work it really screws up your configuration... so you need to disable it and try using the wireless config utility that comes with the wireless card.
Good luck....
===================APPEND=================================
I've been goofing around for over a week trying to get the Mega 180 built in wireless to connect to my Netgear access point. It could see a Linksys access point in a neighbors place but not my Netgear when it was 5 feet away.
It turns out that the wireless mini pci card is OEMed from a Taiwan co. called RaLink. The device is the RT2400. I downloaded the Ralink drivers and TA DA..... it worked.
Here is the link to the drivers if anyone else runs into this problem

Thinkpad X200 Vista Business 32-bit Wireless network problems

Hey guys!
I seem to have a persistent problem with my two Lenovo Thinkpad X200, which I simply can't manage to figure it.
I have recently restored the computers to factory settings, which meant downgrading from Windows 8 to Windows Vista Business 32-Bit.
Now, everything with the installation went as planned until I had to test if everything was working. A lot of the drivers seem to be missing and since I do not still have the original manufacturer's disc, I do not know what to do.
I downloaded the ethernet driver from Lenovo's website and that is now fully functional.
I have also tried everything in regards to making the wireless internet work, but without any luck. When I try connecting to the wireless internet, Windows simply can't detect any networks and when I try using Windows function to find a solution to the problem it simply says "This computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured".
I have tried downloading all the wireless lan driver for Windows Vista 32-bit from Lenovo's website, but I still cannot get the wireless network to work.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

802.1X wireless network problems with Intel Mac

To login to the wireless network at my school I have to use an 802.1X connection authenticating with TTLS, TLS, EAP-FAST and PEAP protocols.
This works intermitently. Some days my MacBook logs on quickly with no problems at all but most days it has a self assigned IP address and I can't use the internet. My friend also uses a MacBook, which acts in the same way. Some days she manages to get on, some days I can get on and some days we are both on together. The problem is really irritating!! We get no support from the techs as we are the only Mac people in the school. The rest of the staff have PCs. The techs are just trying to use this issue to justify why letting people lease Macs is a problem and stop other staff from leasing them in the future.
I did find a solution at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=425113&tstart=0
but this was written in 2006 and I wonderered if this was still valid.
Can anyone help? please???

I am a tech at our school and we have the same problems. still trying to find a permanent solution!
If you turn airport off, then turn on again, (from system prefs > network) does it change from "self-assigned IP Address" to "Authenticated via PEAP)?
the macs are more and more popular at our school, so its becoming more and more of an issue.
cheers,
Harry

WRT54G2 V1.0 Wireless network problem

Hi,
I am having a strange problem with the wireless network on my WRT54G2 V1.0
Each night I completely switch off the power to the router, because there is no need for it to be turned on when I dont use it.
When I turn the power back on the next day, the router starts up normally, and after a couple of minutes I am able to connect to its wireless network from my laptop and phone.
But after some time, I loose the connection to the wireless network. If I search for available wireless networks on my laptop, I can still se my router, but when I try connect to it, I get an error saying that it can not connect.
If I then turn off the power again and turn it back on, the wireless network works again. And this time it works without any problems and disconnections.
Said in short: Each day I loose the connection to the wireless network, and I solve it by turning the power off/on.
So why do I loose the connection the first time the router is turned on each and every day?

Well, I experienced the following yesterday:
When I got home, I turned on my router. Made sure that my iPhone had its Wi-Fi turned off. Played on my console for a few hours, which is connected to the router by wire.
Later on when I turned on my laptop, it was not able to connect to the wireless network. As usual my wireless network was visible, but I was not able to connect to it.
So it seems like I loose the connection to the wireless network after some time, even if I dont use it after I turn on my router. And the issue does not seem to have anything to do with several wireless devices which are connected to the router.
Do I really have to give up, and either have the router turned on all the time, or get use to make a reset of the router every day?

TS1398 'could not scan for wireless networks' problem

I keep getting 'could not scan for wireless networks' whenever I try to connect. I have turned wi-fi off/on, restarted my network, iPod touch, and the home modem. What are some other options for fixing this problem?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

HP Deskjet 3510 Wireless Network Problems after Password Reset

The password on our wireless router was recently changed, and I have not been able to get my printer working since - this has actually happened before and I WISH I could remember how I fixed it last time, but this time it seems no matter what I try (deleting the printer and any related software, reboot, reinstalling software and hardware), nothing seems to help. I managed to print a wireless network test page and there it tells me that the "WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting". Now that much I already know, and the solution makes sense as well, to re-enter the wireless network WPA security passphrase, except I am drawing a blank as to how exactly I am supposed to do that. Oh and I should also mention that unlike last time now the blue wireless control light and the white e-print light on the printer control panel are blinking constantly as soon as the printer is turned on and started up. I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thank you!

MEGA 865 Fan Control Problems using suspend/hibernate

I'm still having problems with the MEGA 865 CPU fan speed going to MAX after I come back from suspend or hibernate until a reboot of the system.
This is super annoying.
MSI tech support sent me a BIOS they thought might solve the problem... but it's OLDER than the one on the web site, PLUS it doesn't fix the problem
When will MSI look into this problem? When will a real fix be available? :(

MSI sent me an updated 1.1 BIOS which actually fixes this problem. Unfortunately when I now resume from hibernate or standby the computer is so slow I have to reboot it - sort of defeats the point don't you think!
As for a response from Tech support. Well I might aswell get some

MEGA 865 Big Display problem

Hi,
i get my new MEGA 865 last Week, but i have a big Problem with it, every time i unplug and plug the Power Cable, the Display on the front is off.
The only way to bring the Display back to live is to unplug and plug the Display Cable inside the Barebone from the mainboard. This cant be right, does everyone have the same Problem ??????
Please write, if you have the same problem or not.
Thanks
Cooler

The information came from MSI Tech support.
I also cannot believe that they sell a Multimedia PC with the MSI Media Suite package that just doesn't work. Any updates? No. Nothing. The MSI Media Suite is meant to be one of the reasons for it costing more than the other MEGA's.
Generally as a rule, I hardly ever install anything from the manufacturers CD supplied with a system. Half the time they are just rubbish apps/utils that I hardly use. I don't really care what speed my Processor/FSB is running at - it's running and it is not below its spec, that's fine by me. My first stop is always the web site for the most current drivers and utils that are necessary.
Obviously PC Alert4 is proving the exception here. It seems to me (I have no confirmation) that PC Alert as supplied on the CD, has API's / DLL's added to take care of the LCD display, and these have not been checked/thought of in a subsequent "standard" version.
I am also interested in seeing how I could control / program the LCD display. I seem to remember someone saying that WinXP Media Center can also change the LCD Display, this hints at either a special driver or an API in XP to get to its settings. I'll try dig a little deeper when I have a spare moment unless anyone already knows the answer.

MEGA 865 CD playback problem (in HiFi mode)

Hi, fellow MEGA PC owners
I have a problem with playing my CDs on MEGA 865 in HiFi mode. It recognizes the CD, plays the first track or two, then stops playing, displays SEARCHING message for a ten seconds or so and then switches to NODISC. When I press Eject button on the box or remote, it switches back to SEARCHING and shows the number of tracks on CD.
The same problem is with the MP3 playback. It plays several MP3s ok and then switches to SEARCHING and NODISC.
Does anyone else has this problem? Any idea on what could be wrong? I checked all Slave/Master jumpers, all are ok, the cd drive is recognized by the BIOS.
My configuration is:
MSI MEGA 865, P4 3.0 GHz Northwood, 1 Gb PC3200 RAM, NEC 2500A DVD burner.

Hey JavaDuke!
I've got the exact same problem with my Mega180, also running a NEC 2500A! And it is starting to get very annoying...
I can play cd's for hours without any problems, when suddenly it stops in the middle of a track, displaying the NODISC message. Doesn't matter whether I use original cd's or copied ones, and the same disc can play through perfectly one day and halt several times the next. I've been thinking about replacing the NEC 2500 with something else but haven't got round to it as yet, however the post in the thread mentioned above states that different drives still produced the same error, so it's probably the bluebird chip that is faulty.
The mentioned thread doesn't really focus on our problem though as it mostly evolves around boot problems, so I don't see any problem with starting a new thread dedicated to this problem.
I might try the newer firmware, although there is no official word from MSI that this problem even exists, and I therefore doubt that it is solved. Not many people seem to have this particular problem either, or it appears so seldom that they choose to ignore it (as I have done for some time now).
Please report back if you solve this one!

S405 Wireless Networks Problem Windows 8 with SSID's

S405 keeps refreshing and shuffling wireless networks. Most of the time it won't show our SSID. We have other thinkpad devices, other wireless tablets/consoles, non of them have this problem.
I was also able to replicate the same issue with another router (in fact we replaced our router recently, and same issue was present before) and it is still happenning.
Another interesting thing is, whatever our SSID is, S405 specifically hides that SSID, this is the most frustrating part. Why would it not display on the list of available networks? I changed the SSID, and it is still not finding it. I made the SSID visible thinking that was the problem, still no luck.
Is there some sort of bug in S405 that makes it not play well with Windows 8 wireless networks?
Are there any applications that I can use to make the extremely restricted Windows 8 networks screen a little more Diagnose-Friendly?
PS: The SSID will show up once in a while allowing us to connect, or sometimes it won't show but will connect magically, this happens after we turn wireless on/off, reboot laptop, or try other various ways to get it to connect.
Thanks in advance!

Wireless Network problems (Extreme & 3 express)

The basics: 1700 sq ft two story house. iMac, Extreme, modem in upper right of house, two airport express in lower left of house.
The problem: music broadcast from extreme to expresses cuts out. I've called Apple several times but the problem continues.
I've tried extending the network and nothing seems to work well.
I even replaced my original airport extreme because I thought it was the problem. Now I don't know.
Having expressed all that, is there a way to test the original airport extreme and use it down stairs to replace an express and strengthen the network signal?
I have read similar inquiries but I'm not very tech savvy and would appreciate an easy-to-understand answer.
Many thanks,
Mike

Unfortunately there is no "magic bullet" when it comes to setting up an extended wireless network. By that I mean, no one solution works in all cases. The following Apple Support article does a good job of explaining the number of ways that are available to you with the AirPorts, but which you choose will depend on your requirements and what is practical / feasible to you.
As you will find out, Apple recommends using a "roaming" type extended network first over an extended wireless network where all of the base stations use wireless connections between them. Primarily, I believe, this has to do with throughput performance. However, a roaming network would require that all base stations are interconnected by Ethernet. If your home is not pre-wired for Ethernet, this can impose a significant problem with setting up one of these types of extended networks.
If you must go with a wireless all the way, then the key to success is the proper placement of each of the base stations to ensure that the signal quality (of the base station that will be extended) will be sufficient enough at each of the extending base stations. If the signal quality is too low, the extending base station will only be able to repeat the signal at the bandwidth that it receives it ... even if it "boost" the signal.

Wireless Networks Problems with Xbox - Airport express

Hi Hope someone can help
Wireless setup & Hardware
I have a PC running XP and the wireless Router is connected directly with RJ45 cable into the Netgear DG834GT
I have a iMac G5 which has no problems getting onto the wireless network
I have a Airport Express unit where all my music is streamed into another room and that works fine, but my problem is I cannot get the xbox I have just purchased to work ie (xbox Live etc) which is attached with RJ45 cable direct to Airport Express.
I have installed lastest firmware for all devices, ie Airport Express, DG834GT
My Wireless Security settings have been set to WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access pre shared key) I must admit I tried to set WEP security at first but had no Luck, so I don't know if I've done right thing
When I look at attached devices on router software it shows me correctly that there are 3 computers on network I can view IP address and MAC address
My Question is should the Xbox work ok with my setup?
Should the Xbox not get all network infomation automatic
Do I need to manual set the xbox with Network settings?
Or am I missing something, any help would be Great

Hello,
I don't know if this link will help but, give it a shot. I have the same setup as you but, I have a PS2 instead. I believe you have to manually adjust some settings on the XBox.

MacBook, 10.4.8, and wireless network problems. How I solved it.

Hi
I've seen a few post about not connecting to a wireless network after the 10.4.8 upgrade.
Before the 10.4.8 update my MacBook worked fine on my wireless network; after the 10.4.8 update I could not connect to my network via AirPort, though it kept offering to connect to my neighbours networks. My wireless network is configured for WPA.
I managed to get this working by deleting my existing AirPort network configuration from System Preferences and creating a new configuration with the same network settings.
Hope this helps,
Matt
iMac G5 1.8GHz 1GB 20"; MacBook 1GB; Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In "Network" I deleted all prefered networks one by one, set it to automatic, turned airport off and back on, and add my network again as prefered network, set it back to connect to preferred network. see apples instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
Now its fast and connects by it self again.
