NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet Updated driver

I am trying to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. I ran the upgrade advisor and it said that I need to download the updated driver for the NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet 32bit driver to install after the installation. Where do I download it from and wich file do I download.

Hi Marilyn, First things first. Before you upgrade to Windows 7, be sure that you update the BIOS to the latest level. All too often I have people update the operating system only to find out later that the BIOS is causing issues and the HP posted BIOS update will not run with the existing operating system. You need a NVIDIA nFORCE chipset driver and I will post a link to that for you in just a moment. However, don't upgrade your PC until you donwnload the drivers and copy them to external media. This is one of the drivers needed. It's one of the latest nFORCE drivers.

Changing the speed of Ethernet Link of the PC to 10 or 100 MBPS

Hello,
I need to change Ethernet Speed of the PC programmatically that is change the Speed to either 10 or 100 mbps.
Is it possible, If yes , then please let me know the procedure.
Or atleast I should be able to read the PC Ethernet speed in LabVIEW.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You dont need .net 4.0 for this (.net 2.0 is good enough) or anything else installed.
I have attached a VI with the control.
PS: If you need to load .net 4.0 assemblies in to LabVIEW, you need to follow instructions in this link:

Upgrade 10 Mbps connection to 100 Mbps

I replaced my old PC (pentium 4) with a new PC (quad core) in my network (Xbox360 (wired), Wii (wireless), Laptop (wireless) and this PC (wired) on a WRTP54G Voip Router). With my old PC I had no problems, but now I get the message network cable not connected on my new PC. The solution is to reduce my speed from the 1GB Nvidia LAN to 10Mbps full duplex instead of automatic (100 Mbps didn't work). Now it connects to my router, network and internet with 10 Mbps, but this connection is too slow for my network. When I connect my laptop directly with the PC I will get a 100 Mbps connection. And when I connect my Laptop to the router with the same cable as the PC, I also get a 100 Mbps connection.
Can someone explain the difference between half duplex and full duplex speed?
Is there a solution to get the connection to 100 Mbps?
Message Edited by 2J on 07-07-2008 06:03 AM

Full Duplex = your NIC can send and receive data at the same time. A telephone is an example of full duplex, both parties can talk/here at the same time.
Half Duplex = your NIC will either send or receive data but will not do both at the same time. A walkie talkie is an example of Half-Duplex, only one person can transmit at a time.
Sorry I do not deal with the gaming part at all, so I do not have a solution, however if I come across an answer I will certainly post it.
Good Luck,

100 Mbps bandwidth between 2 location over Ethernet which router model is suitable?

Hi,
We want use 100 Mbps bandwidth between 2 location over Ethernet which router model is suitable?
Sanjay Nalawade.

Hello Sanjay,
I'm afraid the question is too generic to be addressed in a forum post, since the answer may depend on several variables.
My suggestion is to contact your Cisco Account Manager and ask for the assistance of a System Engineer who can make a project for your needs.

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problem

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris.... i was reading other messages in the forum and apparently solaris doesn't detect my network adapter because when i run ifconfig -a it only shows lo0....
I went to nvidia.com but the drivers on their website are only for the graphics card... where can i get the requiered drivers (and how do i install them under solaris) for my internet connection to work???
i have a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and connect to the internet using road runner trough a router...
thanks...

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris...<snip>
Javisam376
Hi,
Same problem here Javisam376, but I am on an AMD x64 platform, and wondered if that might be the reason why the Solaris Express Developer Edition was unable to see the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, so I wonder which platform you're on (32 or 64-bits?) A general Google search for "Solaris NVIDIA nForce Networking problem" gave a fair number of hits, so the problem, seems well known, but no solutions were suggested by anybody, as far as I could see(!?)
But it seems the Linux community has the same problem, since I found this posting on LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=471094):
"I just finished installing Red Hat 9 on my machine, which is running off of an AMD/NVIDIA nForce2 chipset mobo that has integrated ethernet. I was trying to set up my network connection, but was unable to locate the nvida ethernet controller in the Network app/Network Configuration Wizard. So I went on to nvidia's site and downloaded the x86 linux driver (using my other machine) and used a cd to pop it into the other comp... Saved it to the desktop,
then terminaled: sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run.
It took me through a setup screen where I 'installed a audio and ethernet driver'. I checked the Network wiz again, still no entry for it. So I randomly clicked the hardware browser, and IT lists the 'nForce2 Ethernet Controller' under network devices, but I can't configure it from this screen. Anyway, I would seriously appreciate any help with this. I need to get internet access on this machine quick, so this is drivin' me crazy."

NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller: Windows 7 driver?

I have a Fujitsu Siemens PC, Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit,
which I would like to update (preferably without reinstall) to Windows 7.
When I checked Fujitsu's website and also by mail contact, I only got the response
"Your system is not certified for Windows 7"!
So I ran "Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor", which said that I can upgrade!
The only issue is that it requires an update to the driver for the
"NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller" [current version is 5.1.2600.158],
but Microsoft directs me to THIS site.
Here I search for a suitable driver for my motherboard, which according the tech spec's is
MB MS-7504PV (or MS-7504VP-PV) with chipset NVIDIA nForce 630i,
but no luck there. The MSI Live Update Online plug-in does not find anything on my Mainboard.
Over at NVIDIA's site I can find a driver for nForce 630i but only paired with GeForce 7xxx,
and I don't think I need a complete motherboard driver package.
Where can I find the correct driver?
Or do I dare try a Windows 7 update anyway?
What can go wrong?
PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
M-board: Fujitsu Siemens / MSI MB MS-7504PV, muATX, v1.1, Socket 775
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP73PV
BIOS: AMI v3.0S
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
LAN: nForce Realtek RTL8211
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

You do not have an MSI Retail Product but a mainboard produced exclusively for the OEM Market. Neither MSI nor this forum provides end-user support for OEM products. That is also why MSI Live Update does not find anything for this particular platform (OEM). You need to contact Fujitsu Siemens for assistance (and this include BIOS Updates and drivers).

[nvidia] graphics errors in games since upgrade of 03/12/08

Hi,
since I did a "pacman -Syu" on 03/12/08, I have problems with the graphics of sdl/open gl games, e.g. urban terror and unreal tournament. There are graphical errors (textures are missing or have the wrong color) and the games are very unstable, hang very often, have low frame rates.
The last "pacman -Syu" was on 03/02/08, so the "bad" new package must have been released in this time. Only nvidia cards are affected, because my laptop with intel chip has no problems, though I also did a "pacman -Syu" on it. I could not solve the problem by changing the available settings in nvidia-settings. Even disabling the composite and renderaccel options in xorg.conf did not help. But I could solve the visual problems by upgrading xorg-server to 1.4.0.90-7 (testing). The current one is 1.4.0.90-6. However, the games are still very unstable, which is a even bigger problem that the visual issues. I also tried out the new beta nvidia driver (171.06), but it didn't help at all.
Best regards,
Thorsten

Download file http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/nfo-2.6.3.tar.gz, and carefully follow directions in file README.txt.
The instuctions are terse for those new to Solaris, so here's a (unsupported) script to help.
First create file /etc/hostname.nfo0 or (if using NWAM in OpenSolaris) add line "ngo0 dhcp" to /etc/nwam/llp or line "ngo0 192.168.0.2" (where you replace 192.168.0.2 with your IP address).
KARCH=`isainfo -n` # amd64 or i386

To find out if your network card is supported, get the PCI id from prtconf -pv

P.S., I believe the Sun-supported driver is nge, but it doesn't recognize my card--maybe it's just older cards that it recognizes.

Compiled Driver for Nvidia Nforce

Hello,
Does anyone know where we can find a compiled Linux driver for the Nvidia
Nforce ethernet controller. We are trying to image new computers. We
have downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia website, but are unable to
extract/install the files from the file. Is it possible to compile the
driver/file from a computer running Windows?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Time Capsule Gigabit Ports operating at 100 Mbps (no 1000 Mbps speed)

Hello!
I'm a Verizon Fios user and recently upgraded to Quantum (150 Mbps up/65 down).
My network:
Verizon modem/router with gigabit Ethernet wired to WAN port on TC (3rd Gen).
Multiple AEX extending the network throughout the house
VZ router is the DHCP controller, TC set to bridge mode
For some reason, the port controller on the VZ router is only working at 100 Mbps for whatever port is connected to the TC. I'm certain my TC has gigabit ports (as advertised--they all do, right?) and therefore can't figure out why I can't get the two pieces to operate at gigabit speed (for reference, the VZ modem has indicator lights for 10/100/1000 speeds and the same information is displayed in the router settings).
The VZ configuration page allows me to manually select port speeds (10 half/full duplex, 100 half/full, 1000 full) or allow it to AUTO select. On auto, the port reports 100 Mbps full duplex with the TC. I tried manually selecting 1000 full duplex, at which point the port goes dark (for lack of a better term--no lights, no activity between the two).
I'm certain the gigabit functionality exists on the VZ router side: if I plug in my early 2011 MB Pro directly to the port, I get gigabit speeds. I've also tried wiring from VZ router to TC LAN port, with the same result.
Definitely frustrating: my wired connections are artificially reducing throughput for wireless! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated: is there a setting I'm missing in Airport Utility?
Thanks!!

I'm certain the gigabit functionality exists on the VZ router side: if I plug in my early 2011 MB Pro directly to the port, I get gigabit speeds. I've also tried wiring from VZ router to TC LAN port, with the same result.
Hi Gus
Let me just clarify the above statement.. wiring VZ to the TC LAN port got the same result as the WAN port.. that is how I am guessing you mean it. Not the same result as the MBP.. which worked fine.. !!
I do have an answer to slow ethernet speed but it is not a setting in the TC.. TC lacks most settings or control.. although I would do a factory reset just to be sure. You can also run it in double NAT for a test. The WAN port does have speed controls.. but you can only get to them from v5 utility..
That would be worthwhile to check.. I know you don't want double NAT but it is just to see what happens.
Otherwise your Gen3 A1355 is suffering capacitor deterioration on the 1.8v line.
I did fix it on one TC.. it is a rare problem. Normally the caps just die.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc
I fixed it by soldering a standard low ESR capacitor to the supply..
Test the TC cold, as the ethernet seemed to work ok until it heated up.
Good luck with that one.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter #2

Hello,
i got a funny little cosmetical detail i need help with.
I removed all nforce drivers and reinstalled them. Then i got 2 valid NIC's:
- 3com 3c905b #2 and
- NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter #2
I got numbered network cards.
I learned how to remove this. (usually) You just have to set "SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1" then you are able to list all devices in device manager. Just delete ALL NIC's and reboot. Now you got unnumbered NIC'S.
I was able to do so in almost all machines i had to work with... Until now.. the Nforce MCP device refuses to accept my treatment. I am not able to remove the numbering scheme. It is just a cometical issue, but if anyone got a solution, i'd be glad to hear it..
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
I am guessing you are using WinXP. I have seen the same problem. If you move the Nic from one PCI Slot to another it will do the same thing too.
The solution I have found was doing another install of WinXP in the same Directory without formatting, so you only lose the data in the /windows directory.
Not what you want to hear I know.
