Msi p4n sli - ethernet LAN connection not recognized after reinstall

So I am reinstalling windows xp home edition after replacing a hard drive with over 1,000 bad sectors... The ethernet LAN worked just fine before reinstalling.  I don't have the original driver cd, so using another computer, i downloaded the latest nforce4 chipset / ethernet / IDE / SATA drivers from the msi downloads site.  Installed them and everything worked fine except that the network connection never showed up.  It is not to be found in the device manager, and I don't see it when I view hidden devices.  The LAN chip is enabled in the BIOS and it tried to netboot the first time i booted with the new hard drive (hadn't put the cd in the drive  ).   When that didn't work, I tried downloading the latest chipset drivers from nvidia's site, and the same thing happened.  No local area connection!
Is there something I'm missing?  is there a utility I should be installing before I install the chipset drivers, etc?
I'm feeling stressed as I need to get this finished and returned to my client today but I've been dealing with this since yesterday to no avail
Any help is appreciated!  thank you!
Jeff

A little embarrassed that I didn't figure it out earlier, but I tried several things, realized I had turned off the LAN chip in the BIOS and forgot to turn it back on after installing the second time.   
once i enabled it, I had to manually pick drivers for the "Other PCI Bridge Device", and then for the the nforce network controller windows found after that.
Lesson learned: stress inhibits cognitive function.

  • LAN connection not recognized

    Config :
    -wifi connection => airport (music)
    -wifi conection => internet (disconnected when LAN connected)
    -ethernet connection => internet
    IMac lost connection with internet thru ethernet.
    Don't understand why.
    Don't know how to modify settings so we can have :
    -wifi connection with airport (itunes and stereo)
    -ethernet connection for internet
    It worked in the past and suddenly it stopped
    Thanks for your help
    PS : I think the best would be a re-initialization of the network config

    Thanks for the info but the pb is not solved.
    Apple > System > Network :
    Ethernet = automatic via DHCP (169.254.24.81)
    PB= it gives me an IP address which does not correpond to the IP address range of the DSL box (192.168.1.1)
    The most incredible is :
    I connect a PC to the ethernet cable, it works !!!
    I'm kind of dizzy...

  • Ethernet cable connection not working after upgrade

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    I'll keep this short, after the upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard (10.5.8), when I try to connect to the internet via my ethernet connection, it doesn't work. It says, when I go to a web browser, "you aren't connected to the internet."
    The strange thing is, when I have Airport on, it works just fine.
    Any suggestions? I'm out of them.

    There isn't a "built-in ethernet" portion on there, there is the "ethernet" part listed, and it's unconnected.
    On my Mac OS X 10.5.8 system the Ethernet item is called "Built-in Ethernet", but if I try to create a new one, the choice is "Ethernet". I wouldn't think it would matter much just what it's called.
    Understand, if I plug the ethernet cable in, I can not connect to the internet.
    I do understand. I'm trying to help you with that problem.
    When you select the "Ethernet" item, what's the setting for the "Configure" option?
    In the System Preferences Network panel, try using the minus sign at the bottom to delete the "Ethernet" item, then use the plus sign to create a new "Ethernet" item. Set the "Configure" choice to "Using DHCP". Then try connecting your Ethernet cable.

  • IPhone not connected not recognized after Leopard install

    OK, so all was well with my iPhone and this weekend I installed Leopard, and now my iPhone has only been recognized once by my computer. I plug it in to it's cradle (as always) and no charging happens and it does not show up in iTunes. I have tried both of my available USB ports (no hubs involved) and neither one works, yet my other USB devices work just fine. I tried a new cable, it does not work, and I also plugged in the cable direct to an outlet and my phone charges just fine. All updates are installed. The only way I got it to work that one time was to turn my computer off and then on, but I've tried that this morning and even that does not work. I have no way to sync. Please help me!

    Laura Brown1,
    If the iPhone is not seeing power from the USB port, try reseting the iPhone first.
    If its still not seeing power, or being seen by the computer, reset the PMU, and then try it again. For some models of Mac the PMU is replaced by a SMC instead.
    This article has information about PowerMac G5's with a PMU:

  • MSI P4N SLI, Long wait before BIOS post? (nForce 4 SLI Intel)

    Does anyone else have a P4N SLI? Or maybe you might just know anyway...
    Everytime I boot the PC, before the BIOS POST even starts theres a long wait (insanely long, compared to other PCs and mobos I've had and used) around 45 sec to a minute, where nothing is shown on the monitor and the DVD and CD drives are constantly read (even though theres nothing inside em). Then the BIOS post comes and the rest of the whole process is fast as I could wish for....
    Is that normal with the P4N SLI or maybe even with nForce motherboards?
    If not, any ideas what it could be? (I tried stripping my pc down to barebones, minimal RAM, no extra cards, 1 hdd and 1 cd drive (and even without the cd drive) yet still it takes the same amount of time...)
    Please help...
    Thanks in advance.
    my specs are as follows:
    Intel P4 w/HT 3.0 Ghz LGA775 Land, 1 MB L2 Cache (530J)
    Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
    3 GB DDR2 @ 533 Mhz
    3 HDDs (1 WD Caviar 7200 RPM SATA I, 1 Maxtor 7200 RPM SATA I/II, 1 WD Caviar SE 7200 RPM SATA I/II)
    GIGABYTE 3DAurora Case (this case has 3 x 120mm fans)
    GIGABYTE 3D Cooler Pro Fan
    2 SONY Optical Drives (1 DVD/CD-RW, 1 DVD+/-RW)
    MSI P4N SLI mobo
    2 x XFX 7900 GTs
    Thermaltake Toughpower 600W PSU

    Do you mean
    1GB, 512MB, 1GB, 512MB?
    Sorry, ya thats what i meant, 2 GB was a mistake. Its 1 GB, 512, 1, 512.
    Quote
    As stated before. Remove the 512meg sticks. To run properly, all sticks should be the same. Reason is due to timings and voltages. Also try to up the voltages to the cpu.
    I removed the 512 sticks before, like I said, and I'm just running with the 2 x 1GB sticks, it hasnt had any positive effect on the long wait before POST. The voltage for the RAM is 1.8v right now as according to the BIOS, is that the correct value?
    Did I mention that during this long wait my monitor is in sleep mode, then 1 short beep is heard, the lights on my keyboard reset as is usual on any PC and the BIOS does its POST (if i pause after the keyboard lights, its usually auto-detecting my HDDs, and optical drives). It's strange because during that long wait nothing is happening other than my cd drive and dvd drive intermittently flashing and my HDD light is constantly on....
    The strange thing is this same setup was working perfectly fine on my old Intel D915GEV motherboard... and it also runs perfectly fine on this mobo too, once you get past the 1 minute+ waiting time...

  • MSI P4N SLI E -F

    Hi all,
    I've recently purchased a new Msi p4n sli xe -f mobo (no idea what the f stands for) for my new setup and i've already run into a problem.
    After building up my machine and turning it on the leds on the backplate do the usual flashing and then it sits there with leds 1,3 & 4 on red and 2 on green.  I've checked in the user manual which says it's a memory problem so today i went to PC World  and bought a single 512 strip of ddr2 533 to test this out.
    I installed the new memory but the same problem persists, does anyone have any idea's?
    I've used a standard PCI graphics card to allow me to setup the bios and windows before i buy an 8800gtx card but haven't been able to do anything because of the problems i've described.
    The rest of my setup is:
    Msi P4N SLI E -F Mobo
    3Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor 530J
    (Now) 1.5Gb ddr2 533mhz ram 2xKingston 1xPny
    250Gb Western Digital Sata 2 HD
    Liteon SHW-16H5S-15C Light Scribe 16x DVD+ - RW
    600W power supply
    Anyone?

    Try booting with only the following hardwares:
    CPU + HSF
    Mainboard
    1 x RAM each time swapping out upon posting failure
    PSU
    Low end GPU
    Feedback the results and I'll try to verify what is the best alternative you can do.
    To clear CMOS with jumper can be easily achieved by taking the mainboard's battery out for 5 - 10 secs and placing it back in place.
    Ok, i've done that and i get the same problem no matter what i try.
    The gpu is as minimal as it can get, it's a pci (not express) graphics card based on the early nvidia chips that i borrowed from a friend and it works ok because he tested when i was at his prior to me installing it into my machine.
    A maxi gamer cougar or something like that. i know it was an nvidia card anyway.
    I've tried contacting Msi through their technical support email and i got an automated reply saying that they were dealing with a number of other cases and that they would reply as soon as they could...........that was over a week ago now.

  • HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

    God bless you, peace.
    macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
    I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
    recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
    1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
    2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
    3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
    I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
    It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
    I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

    Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.

  • Logitech trackball not recognized after 10.5.8 update- LCC 3.1 needed

    Logitech Trackman wireless trackball was not recognized after 10.5.8 upgrade. At re-boot, the "searching for bluetooth mouse" screen appeared, pushing the re-set button on the wireless base and trackball did not solve the problem.
    Had to plug in my Apple mouse (worked immediately), go to the Logitech website and download the latest Logitech Control Center software for Snow Leopard, dated 9/22/09 (version 3.1)
    After install and re-start, Logitech hardware worked perfectly, as before.
    Not sure if it would avoid this issue, but I recommend installing LCC 3.1 before you install the 10.5.8 update. That or be sure you have an Apple mouse on hand.

  • LAN connection not working/Ethernet controller driver missing

    I got a new hard drive and installed a clean copy of windows 7 on it. After dealing with a few problems I finally had it up and running. I transferred via usb and installed drivers from http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/7779690/model/8154137#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1. Every thing is working except for my LAN connection.  I can connect to wifi however. In device manager I have a ! next to ethernet controller.  Had ! on a bunch more before installing other drivers.  In network adapter settings there is no listed Local Area Connection.  What do I need to get my Lan connection working again?

    Hi: The support page for your model indicates you need this ethernet driver... This package provides the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver for supported models running a supported operating system. File name: sp71102.exe You have to manually install this driver. Run the file and then go to the device manager. Click on the ethernet controller needing drivers. Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file. That folder should be located in C:\SWSetup\sp71102. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

    hi friends,
    I am not a computer genious...Just was excited to try build my own system....So but now facing a hard time....I have read almost every page of my manual...My hard drive manual..But was not able to fix the problem...
    #I constantly keep on getting the following error:

    #BOOT ORDER (Shif + F10):I had following options of booting
    (1)ROM DIABLE (2)INT 18h (3) Int 19h (4) Pnp/BEV (BBS).
    I tried to boot with all above options...but none was working to find my hard drive..
    #I went into BIOS ..Set settings to DEFAULT and then did following changes into Integrated Peripherals
    VT8237 PATA contoller -enabled
    VT8237 SATA Controller - disabled
    IN OnBoard PCI controller
    lan CONTROLLER - disabled..
    AC'97 AUDIO -enabled
    ( i did not see p20378 SATA Controller- because probably thats option available on K8T NEO FIS2R and not for my motherboard)
    2)Next i followed exactly the screens shown in manual.

    I also checked my 120 gig hard drive in my old system and it was working smooth...no problems at all..
    4)I tried clear my BIOS and reset jumpers ....But the same things keep on occuring.
    5)I tried the 4 pin from PSU that i used for HD and DVD-ROM...Whether they carry power ? I plugged into front neo light of case...and the 4 pin carries power and front case LED Works with all the pins......

  • IPOD connection not recognized

    I recently had my IPOD mini software reset because of low battery life. Battery life is somewhat improved but of course I lost all my stored music. To try to resync the IPOD to my music library, I connected the IPOD to the PC and went through all the reset software instructions again. Now I get a "do not disconnect" message showing up on the screen, and the PC does not recognized the IPOD connection (edit/preferences/IPOD - and get message "no IPOD connected"). That's the situation as of this minute and I'm loathe to disconnect anything.

    You could try plugging in your iPod, then opening iTunes. My iTunes store sometimes doesn't recognize my iPod mini or iPod shuffle, andi just plug my iPod in first, then open iTunes. See if that works. If not, i don't know what to tell you.....
