[nForce] K7n2g-ilsr - Is the onboard soundcard FULL DUPLEX compatable ?

Hi, I need a soundcard that is full duplex compatable. MY BIOS is showing HALF DUPLEX and is greyed out so that I cannot change it. Can I change this to FULL DUPLEX and how do I go about changing it ? Thanks for your time, Peter.

The manual only states that it can be set to either full or half but doesn't tell me how to change it. How do I find out the driver version which is installed and hence how do I install an updated version ?
Thanks, Peter.

[nForce] K7N2G-ILSR network connection problems

My brother's system is as follows:
AthlonXP 2000+
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
2x256 MB Crucial PC2100
Emermax Powersupply
Generic DVD ROM
LG DVD burner
MSI TV @nywhere
WinXP Home SP2
His computer has been working more or less perfectly, although the TV card occasionally causes some trouble. Today, he was no longer able to get on the internet. From both the Network connections and Device Manager screens, his LAN interface is gone. Only the 1394 interface shows up.
So far, I did a system restore to last week, which had no effect. I made sure the BIOS hadn't disabled it for some reason, too, but that isn't the problem. I manually installed the network adapter, and it said that the device could not start, error code 10. The network adapter will not work in Safe Mode with Networking, either. I tried the MS Knowledge base article regarding missing LAN icons, but that article was for situations in which the icons were gone yet everything still functioned, so it didn't really apply. Reinstalling drivers had no effect. I can ping localhost, but that could just be because the 1394 connection can act as an internet connection.
Any ideas? I've not done a repair of Windows on the machine, but I'm not sure that would help. I do have an extra network interface pci card I could put in if it is simply a problem of his onboard connection having died. If I do this, is there a particular PCI slot that I should preferably use to avoid IRQ conflicts?

As far as I know drivers can be installed in SafeMode, but your LAN wont work till in normal.
A repair install is not a bad idea, as Windows is very fond of its own drivers.
LAN and sound problems are often early signs of a PSU near the end. You wouldn't know the specs of the Enermax? I guess it is alright, but you never know.
As the TV-card is problematic, try that one in another slot. Nowadays devices happily share IRQs without problems, but some older devices including older mobos (which is not the case here) were very conservative. ...I'll have to look in my drawer, wait a sec, please. - - --
"The use and sharing of IRQs aren't mentioned in my MSI manual, (due to the APIC function I think), so I had to go to some ASUS manuals. As standards are standards, I believe things can't be to different. If someone has any addings or suggestions please come forward, so I can adjust the table.
*Please note that this is generally speaking and mainly for ASUS boards a few years old!
**Please note that you should not have any sharing with the IDE controller or similar!
***Please note that it is a good thing to have expansion PCI sound cards in slot 3!
****Please note that surprisingly enough it looks like PCI slot 2 would be free for any device, but AGP cards get hot and bigger so it is not a great idea.
IRQ sharing table
PCI 1 shares with PCI slot 5
2 shares with AGP and PCI slot 6, or sometimes with onboard IDE
3 shares not, or sometimes with onboard audio/modem
4 shares with onboard LAN
5 shares PCI slot 1
6 shares with AGP and PCI slot 5
AGP slot shares with PCI slots 5 and 6
USB 1 shares with USB 2, 3 and USB 2.0
2 shares with USB 1, 3 and USB 2.0
3 shares with USB 1, 2 and USB 2.0
USB 2.0 shares with USB 1, 2, and 3
Onboard audio/modemshares not, or sometimes with slot 3
Onboard LAN shares with PCI slot 4
Onboard IDE shares not, or sometimes with PCI slot 2 "

K7N2G-ILSR Survived the Detroit Blackout!

First of all, it's SO nice to be back!
Secondly, my system survived the blackout; my girlfriend's did not. The cause: her Gateway's power supply. Fortunately, it's still under warranty.
I am very happy I upgraded. No hardware or software lost here!

1) I hate hockey. And I am definitely not "USA-centric," being of English, Irish, Scottish, Mexican, and Native American descent. And not everyone in the US believes that what our government did/does is right; in fact, I'd say that the majority of us are dismayed and scared s__tless of recent developments. Without a fair balance between political parties, we seem to be on a collision-course with a destiny far different than the one envisioned by the Republicans. (BTW, we're both Americans, I just happen to live in the US, you in Canada. The government has controlled the press here since war was declared. All the smart people I know here don't believe what they see on TV. We're working really hard to get a decent review of what really happened.)
2) While I realize that the East Coast and more were affected, I was only referring to the local situation. I fely bad for everyone everywhere who were affected similarly. I just moved into a new house, hurt my back doing it, and then had to move everything up from the basement to avoid a sewage flood that never happened. I was going to complain until I saw the guy two houses down in a wheelchair.
3) We both had surge protectors. (I'm a 30 year electronics/computers veteran, and believe in power protection. I just have not been able to afford a decent Back-UPS since losing my job to a collapsing economy about a year ago.) It was the somewhat lengthy brownout beforehand that killed hers; surge protectors can't do anything about brwonouts, only spikes and very brief interruptions.

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...
Cheers!! 8)

10.6 update disables full duplex ethernet

Updated to 10.6 and immediately lost all internet connectivity. Network control panel reported "Cable Unplugged."
Restarted in 10.5.8 -- 100Mb connection worked fine.
Restarted again and back in 10.6, I fiddled with settings and found that by manually switching to "half-duplex" ethernet (under the "advanced" tab) internet connectivity returned. (Connectivity also resumes if I choose the "automatic" configuration, because that too switches over to half-duplex). Either way, the working connection seems a noticeably slower than 10.5.8, which I assume is the difference between half and full duplex.
Any ideas on how to restore the connection to full duplex?

Thanks for the tips
It is looking more and more like a driver issue with the Intel Pro 1000 card that came with the Mac Pro. I've found people with similar loss of full duplex with this card (sometimes unrelated to Snow Leopard).
Intel no longer supports the card or driver apparently, having sold that operation to www.small-tree.com. SmallTree's Web site states that a problem exists with the driver and Snow Leopard and offers a possible work-around at http://www.small-tree.com/gigabit-ethernet-driver-download-a/198.htm.
(The driver must be installed with the current ethernet card removed. Unfortunately, every how-to guide I've seen assumes you're replacing the easy-to-access PCI cards, but the preinstalled Mac Pro card appears to be hidden back behind the main fan and I don't see an easy way to get to it.
Am I missing something obvious?)

WAN Port Full Duplex

I have connected my UC540 latest software pack to a FIOS Box. i'm only getting half the speed.
Can someone post the steps on CLI to make the WAN interface full duplex please?

It would be `interface FastEthernet0/0` for a UC540 actually.
In any case, I believe they are set to "auto" by default... which should have chosen full duplex.
From his description it sounds more likely that he has a throughput problem than a half-duplex issue.
How fast is your FIOS connection? The UC500's aren't really designed for very high speed WANs.
The other thing to check would be traffic shaping settings, if misconfiged, they could certainly limit your speed.

Not getting full duplex throughput on WRT54GL

So here's the situation. I am on a university network that gives us a 10Mbps HALF duplex connection when using auto-negotiate, so we effectively get a 1Mbps connection. I can manually change the duplex setting on my network card to "full duplex" and then I get a solid 10Mbps connection.
Now I am attempting to use a WRT54GL with this connection. I have configured the router for "full duplex," but whether I am connected through wired or wireless to the router, I consistently get only 1Mbps throughput. Is there any additional setting or hack I can do to force the router to use full duplex with its WAN connection to the campus network?
Thanks in advance!

This option is not available on the linksys firmeware..

Checksumming/Full Duplex on WUSB-G w/SpeedBoost

Hi. I am using a wireless router for internet, and have recently had problems with the 2.01 patch of World of Warcraft. One of the technical suggestions they recommend is setting Checksum Overload to off, and 100x Full Duplex. I do not have either of those settings on my router.
Furthermore, when I try to login into 192.68.1.1, I am prompted for name and password. I leave name blank and enter "admin" (no quotes) for password, but this is not correct. I have never changed the settings of this router.
I believe it has the latest drivers (not sure of specific #)
If anyone can help me adjust the checksum and full duplex options, I would be grateful.
If it is helpful for resolving the greater WoW problem, I can post the description I left on the WoW tech support forums

Checksum Offloading is a hardware function of some high performance network cards - the card does the calculation and inserts the checksum into the packet. This reduces network overhead (CPU Utilization) on the PC.
The USB device does not have this feature.
You did not say what model router you have, but the manual can be downloaded from the www.linksys.com page under support -> Downloads - you need to select your model.
But the short answer is to press and hold the reset botton for at least 10 seconds. This button is located on the back of the router, next to the Internet connection - it is inside a small hole. You need a small pointed object to press on it (a straitened out paperclip works). Then you will need to reconfigure the router as it will be like it just came out of the box...

Wireless with Full Duplex

Wireless with Full Duplex
according to my CCNP switch book, it says
IEEE802.11 WLANs are always half duplex because transmitting and receiving stations use the same frequency. To achieve full-duplex mode, all transmitting would have to occur on one freqeuncy, and all recieving would occur over a different frequency.
Although thi is certainly possible and practical, the 802.11 stadards do not permit full-duplex operation.
Can anybody explain this "certainly possible and practical " case?

Hi,
I believe that "certainly possible and practical" mean that it would be feasible to send in one frequency and receive in the other achieving full duplex.
This would require a new standard to define devices with 2 frequencies active that would negotiate which one to transmit, and stuff like that.
However, the standards the define the wireless networks were not design for that so they do not allow it.
HTH,
Tiago

Full Duplex Collisions???

OK Im really confused. I thought you couldnt have collisions with a full duplex port but yet my switches are showing collisions even though they are set to full. Also I was told that some applications will not run right if the network cards are set to full duplex. Has anyone ever run into this?

William
Part of the definition of full duplex is that the collision detection mechanism is disabled on a full duplex port/interface. So I believe it is impossible to have collisions on a port that is configured as full duplex - other than the possible result of some bug in the code.
Is it possible that the interface counters recorded collisions at some point in the past when the port was half duplex?
I have not run into any situation where an application would not run on a port set to full duplex. And I wonder how the application would know. One of the advantages of the layered model is that the upper layers are insulated from dependencies on what happens at lower layers. How would an application know whether the port was half duplex or full duplex?

Full Duplex with Mini

I use both my mac mini and black mac book at work. I have been unable to get the mac mini to run at full duplex. I have locked the port on the switch(Cisco3600) but when I force the mini to full duplex it does not connect at all. I have put the mac book on the same port and no problems.As I like to take the mac book with me on the road syncing my files when one system is half duplex is a real problem. Help

Hi,
It might be something specific to the 3600.
I use minis on a 6500 with full duplex set at the switch and set on the Mac and it works great.

Full duplex with a 100 FX connection

Hello,
I have a WS-2960-24TC-L running with c2960-lanbase-mz.122-40.SE.bin with two GLC-GE-100FX= in it.
I am trying to link this switch to a 3750 with a GLC-GE-100FX= and a WS-2955C-12.
The 2960 always auto negotiate to 100 half with both switches. In the 3750 I can force the port to Full duplex but the DUPLEX command in not ava lable on gig 0/1-2.
I would be nice to have a 100 Full link between the switches.
Can you help me ?

Current GigE is full-duplex only.
You might try using a 10/100 port (as a trunk port if necessary).
You can also try another cable, preferably a commercially made cable in good condition. Poorly terminated hand-made cables, or cables that have been kinked, stretched, crushed {etc} can cause the ports to downshift.
Good Luck

MSI K7N2G-ILSR onboard video initialization problems

Hi, today I replaced my wife's trusty Abit KT7 motherboard with a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I used the onboard video since she doesn't play games. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to boot it up. The computer started up as usual, but the monitor did not intialize like it should. The message on the monitor said that " the monitor was working correctly and to check the cord or the computer." I rechecked all of the connections and everything seemed to be installed correctly. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the onboard video, so I decided to install the Radeon 9000 that was in the old system. To my suprise I received the same message when I started the computer up the second time. I have built several systems and have never encountered a problem like this before. I read the thread about problems with the Radeon cards, but no one mentions anything about problems with the onboard video. I am using a Duron 750, Antec 330 watt PSU and 512 megs of Kingston Value Ram. I know that several posters have recommended that nforce 2 users need a more pwerful PSU and better ram, but I have a hard time beleiving that those things would cause the video not to intilaize. I would appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions because I need to make a desision about hwat to do with this board. Thx.

Well I appreciate the replys. I formated the harddrive before I installed the motherboard because I was worried that the via drivers would cause problems when I booted it up and installed Win XP. Bonz, you are right, I am just guessing that everything is OK since I can hear the system start up, but I can't see anything since the video never intializes. I rechecked all of the connections and even took the motherboard out and reinstalled the cpu, memory and motherboard and the same thing happened. I started thinking something was wrong with the monitor so I unplugged the monitor from my system, which I know works, and it did the same thing. I just wish I could get the video to intialize so I could see to get into the bios to look around. I will check the jumpers on the board and continue to mess around with it. I would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thx again.

K7N2G-ILSR-HELP!!!!!!! Please, please, try to reply to it by the end o

:O i recently bought a computer with a MSI K7N2G-ILSR after reading all the reveiws on it. i am 15 years old, and my dad will k*** me ( ;( ), because i have already fried some chips with messing around. Now i have another problem. Everytime i turn on the computer, nothing appears on the screen, but the monitor is working as i've tested it on another pc. the D-LED'S hang on:
1:green
2:red
3:green
4:green
in the manual, it says:
'initializing Floppy Drive Computer'
any help????
also is there anyhting i could do to get some files off the pc, because the only fix will probably be a reformat of the hard drive and i've got to hand in some coursework by next week and its NOT backed up!!! ;( ;( ;(
i have cleared the CMOS, and jumpered it so it would run at 100 mhz but it would still not boot up.
my system specs are:
80 gig Maxtor hard drive
2x128meg ram
cd-rw drive
dvd drive
windows xp professional
microsoft office 2000 premium
p.s also i have noticed some pinging nosies

Im using a K7N2G-ILSR. this is the one with the onboard graphics so adding another graphics card is out of the question. The cd-rom and dvd drive lights flash, the hd light is continuously on. Nope i havnt flashed the bios recently, i havent even changed anything in the bios. the machine is 'booting' upto the 'initializing floppy drive controller'. after that it crashes. nothing is shown on the screen before and after that, not even the companys logo.
b4 this started to happen, i was copying some files from the dvd drive and windows crashed. So i restarted it. An then the problems. All i have got plugged into the motherboard is:
2 sticks of 128mg(unbranded i think) pc2700 ddr sdram (dual ddr)
80gb seagate hard drive @ 5400 rpm i think
A Mentor Modem card using the Intel chip.
DVD-DRIVE
CD-RW drive
i think the psu is 350 watts but im not sure
i noticed the pinging noises when i was writing the first message (After pc f***** up!), and it wasnt from the pc's speaker and it has stopped, i think i was imagining them.
It cant be the psu because it has worked fine until now, and ive been copying cd's from one drive to the other, which would take up alot of power and it was fine.
thnx 4 ur help
