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.

  • K7N2-L cannot load MCP Networking drivers in Win98

    My system is new and consists of:
    K7N2-L mobo
    AMD XP 2500 CPU
    2 x 512 MB Twin Muskin DDR High Performance Black modules
    All in Wonder ATI 7500
    120 GB WD HD
    I think that I have set up my Bios correctly and have installed Win 98 without any problem. All drivers loaded ok from the included CD, except for the nvidia nforce MCP Networking Adapter.  
    Everytime I reboot my OS recognizes that the onboard networking adapter is present, but I cannot load it.
    I don't see that anyone has had this probem in this forum and wondered if perhaps it has anything to do with the MAC Address which is in the default (disabled) mode.  
    If I should have MAC Address enabled, how do I find out what Mac Address to use?
    I would be very appreciative of any suggestions anyone would be kind enough to make.
    TIA
    John  ?(  ?(  ?(

    Jef, first thanks for the quick response.  
    Yes, I'm using win98, not SE, which I had read somewhere else (after I loaded it)would not work.  Since all other drivers loaded properly I was hoping I would be lucky and it would be ok, but I suspected it might be my problem. Thank you for verifying it.  
    Also, in MSI FAQ it mentioned MAC address was on the ACR slot, but I didn't see it.  Your mirror suggestion was the trick, but I wonder why MSI puts it towards the case side so that it so damn hard to see?
    If I read backwards correctly, my MAC address is 0010DCE2D88B on what looks like a bar code sticker. I remember somewhere reading that the MAC was a combination of 12 letters and numbers which would fit this number.  Does this sound right to you?  There is also another sticker, but the writing is so small, I cannot make out what's on it.
    Since I'm this far along, and will need to purchase Win98 SE or XP, I will try putting in these numbers and see what happens and let you know (I'm not too hopeful though).
    Again, I appreciate your help.

    Yes, you need to have the MAC address enabled.  The MAC address should be on a sticker on the motherboard.  You\'ll likely need a small mirror to read it as it\'s probably located on the side of your last card slot.

  • 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...

    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 network issues with XP

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone could either confirm or indeed help.
    I have got 36 new nvidia imacs (new education model) and have boot-camped (v2) them and running xp sp3. I have joined them to a Windows server 2003 domain. I have deployed software using Group Policy. The problem is all of the nvidia imacs fail to obtain the deployed software and indeed any group policies assigned to the computer part of the policies.
    To test i have assigned the same policies to an OU where the older intel (white edu) imacs that we have are stored. These are successful straight away on 2nd reboot after a gpupdate /force command is run. These work as expected.
    There are also problems when the nvidia machines start up. Once they get to the login window in XP if you try to login immediately you get a domain unavailable error suggesting that the connection is just too slow. This would also result in the group policies failing as they do if this is the case.
    Also on the mac side they seem to take longer to obtain an IP address for connecting to the OD and AD servers for network logins and also can drop network connections randomly resulting in networked-based accounts on OS X being left in limbo and also disconnecting from shares in Windows.
    I have tried changing the dchpmediasense setting in the registry as well as the gptimouepolicy setting also. Both had no effect.
    Overall I'm not really very impressed with the nvidia chipset and for this sort of environment i think the Intel chipsets should be used as do other people that have worked with Nvidia network drivers.
    TIA.

  • NVIDIA nForce 550 MCP and 4-4-4-15 memory

    Hello, I just bought this new mother board:
     NVIDIA® nForce 550 MCP
    The memory I have is:
     OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
        *  DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
        *  Timing 4-4-4-15
        *  Cas Latency 4
    The system is stable using memory timings as AUTO, Sis viewer shows the memory settngs as 5-5-5-12 (Cas Latency 5)
    In the BIOS If I set the CAS/tRCD/tRPD/tRAS to 4-4-4-15 then Windows crashes when I hit login screen
    In the BIOS if I set only the CAS to '4' leaving all else as AUTO, Windows still behaves the same, crashes on login screen
    Does this board support this memory?
    If so what are the proper memory settings that I should be using to make the system stable for boot?
    Bob

  • NVIDIA Network Adapter problem (MSI K8N Neo4-F)

    We have an MSI K8N Neo4- F motherboard.  We are running Windowx XP SP2 (just upgraded to Service Pack 2).  The computer will only boot in Normal mode if we disable or remove the NVIDIA Network Adapter driver.  If we attempt to boot in Normal mode, it always ends with a Bad Pool Header problem (Blue Screen of Death).  If we boot in Safe Mode with Networking, we can access the Internet.  If we disable or remove the driver, then  boot in normal mode, we can run in Normal mode but we do not have internet connection.
    Does anyone know how we can use the onboard Network Adapter, and still boot in normal mode? 
    We have been using the latest drivers from MSI for this motherboard.  Is there a different version that can be used?  Is it possible that we have to update our BIOS for it to work correctly with SP2? 
    Thanks!

    I think I may have misunderstood what you meant by a clean install.  I probably should have asked what you meant before I answered my last post.
    If you mean "did we just build the system by wiping the hard drive, installing  XP SP1, then apply SP2", the answer is no.  The system has been running Windows XP SP1 for several years without any problems, and we just wanted to upgrade to SP2 because there is some software that we want to load that requires SP2 to run.  We have lots of software loaded on this machine that we use every day that we really want to avoid (short of time right now to tackle that project) rebuilding the entire operating system/machine because of the work involved in reloading all the software, etc. 
    Am I correct in assuming that we would have to wipe out the hard drive and start over if we did a re-install from a slipstreamed SP2 cd?  If so, then we will probably just stay with SP1 for the time being if there is no other option to fix this Nvidia driver problem until we have more time to do a complete re-install and reload of the computer.
    What about just installing a NIC in one of the PCI slots and use that instead of the onboard NetWork Adapter?
    Thanks for all your help. 

  • Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

    As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.  I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve.  This however just cropped up after two months of successful use.  Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available.  I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360.  I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared.  When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range.  If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time.  I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that 

    Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
    All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
    already connected to a wireless network on startup.
    I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
    Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
    well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
    1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2. Double-click on Network adapters.
    3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
    4. Click on the Advanced tab.
    5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
    6. Set the Value to Disabled. 
    7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

  • Windows 7 x64 Network Adapter Stops working on high load

    My Network has been failing and it has been happening for about a month or so on Windows 7 x64.  I dont think that the system configuration is the problem as it is happening on 2 seperate machines.  One being a relatively beefed up "white" box, 4 gig OCZ ram, EVGA nForce 790I SLI Mobo, Q9600 Quad core processor, dual raid 1 - 150 Gig Raptors, 2 8800GTX SLI cards, Pure Power 800W PS.  The second machine is an IBM Netbook S10.  I use the Netbook as a media center connected to a Pioneer Elite 1050HD.  One thing is I have a PS3 and have several 1TB Esata drives connected to an IOGear 3132 Esata 3.0Gb pciX card to my desktop.
    My typical usages:
    1. FTP from a private server
    2. Streaming music via Winamp
    3. Streaming video 720, 1080 from pc to PS3 via the PS3 Media Server
    4. DLing demos or movies on the PS3
    5. Network streaming a movie from the Esata drives to the bedroom or kids rooms
    6. Streaming video from abc.com or southparkstudios.com from the Cox cable modem
    7. RDC over VPN to work machines
    Now I have noticed that when I am streaming HEAVILY, from any 2 of the above mentioned, my network connections will simply stop working with a yellow exclamation mark on the task bar network icon after a few moments, nothing in the event logs, no logs or ANYTHING at all.  It will simply stop working no notifications or anything poof, gone.  I have EVERY single patch, driver anything I can think of installed.  Nothing works, the timing is completely random.  FYI I have a NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall FVX538 with a cable modem connection on WAN 1 and a cellular connection on WAN2, these have no impact I feel on the connections because the PC may go down or the Netbook will go down depending on which one has the most load.  So this simply tells me that it it not a firewall router problem as I have tried using a cisco unmanaged 24 port 1GB switch and I get the same problems.  From analyzing the systems and layout I am led to believe that it is either a network adapter driver OR a Windows 7 problem (collisions, unhandled exception?), this NEVER happened with XP or Vista.  I have tried everything but a new network adapter, I have tried the secondary adapter card on the mobo, I have tried bridging the two, I have tried daisy chaining the switch and putting each machine on its own dedicated switch linked to each other with no change.  When the network goes down it is only that box effected, all other machines still connect to each other fine, only the one with load shuts down and the only ones that shut down are Windows 7.  These machines are all wired with commercial cat5e patch cables, they have all been swapped for new ones lately.  All networking and PC equipment are on UPS so I doubt voltage variations.  Windows Firewall is disabled I only use the hardware firewall, I do not use any antivirus.
    I am completely out of options, can anyone recommend a new route?
    In addition when I go to the command prompt and attempt to do an ipconfig /release.  I get an error saying that the adapter is not in a usable state.  Very irritating, this forces me to reboot, or right click disable/enable on the network adapter.  The right click route takes almost a minute to complete.
    Tried update driver in nvidia control panel, no luck.  I have also turned off the networking power saver option in the adapter settings.

    Hi,
    Considering this issue occurs on 2 different machines, I also think this issue may be more hardware related. You may also try the following:
    1.    If the computers are connecting to a router, please ensure the router’s firmware is up-to-date.
    2.    Please run the following command in an elevated command prompt in Windows 7:
    netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
    3.    Disable SNP in Windows 7 by setting Registry as following:
    Note: Please perform a full-system backup first.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
    EnableTCPChimney=dword:00000000
    EnableTCPA=dword:00000000
    EnableRSS=dword:00000000
    If the keys do not exist, please create them and assign the value.
    An update to turn off default SNP features is available for Windows Server 2003-based and Small Business Server 2003-based computers
    4.    If the issue persists, please add another network adapter to this computer and see how it works.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

    Hi, I'm experiencing a simular problem here.
    My PC was using Asus P5Q-E motherboard but exchanged it for Asus P5Q TURBO Pro because it loses 'connectivity ' after an interval between a few hrs to 26hrs. During this state, I can't browse or my Outlook to check emails. The only thing that can send/receive data is Vuze. Plus, the strange thing is that the network icon says there's nothing wrong at all (when it obviously there is). Even the currency desktop gadgets says the time elapsed since it 'lost connectivity '.
    I initially thought P5Q-E was faulty so now I'm using the TURBO Pro. However, the problem still persisted.
    I am using Win 7 Ultimate x64 with all the updates and drivers. Connected via LAN cable to the router and the firmware is the latest. My ISP sent me a replacement router to confirm that their equipment is not faulty, which is true.
    I have tried the above methods 1-3.
    Although I'm not sure if I implemented Method 3 correctly since I don't usually go to the registry but here's what it looks like after creating it:
    EnableRSS   REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
    EnableTCPA   REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
    EnableTCPChimey   REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
    There are 3 more PC's and 1 laptop in the house. 2 PCs use Win XP, 1 uses Win 7 Ultimate x64 and laptop uses Linux Ubuntu.
    My PC has a second OS, Linux Ubuntu, I used it to time trial both motherboards (before and after switching) and found no problems at all even after 48hrs, so it confirms it's not a hardware issue.
    The other PC's apart from mine are connected wirelessly. As far as I've been told, they don't experience the same issue I have.
    I've been trying to tackle this problem for months now and I'm frustrated to reboot my PC every time it 'loses connection '.
    I chatted with Asus about the issue when I still had the P5Q-E mobo, they said that they built a simular system to mine with the same mobo and said they couldn't reproduce the problem I'm having. THey even tested on other mobos with the same LAN chip and found nothing wrong. That's why I got the TURBO Pro that has a different LAN chip.
    Anyone got anymore suggestions???
    Thanks in advance.

  • NF750-G55 - BSOD from any enabled network adapter

    Hello MSI community,
    I am posting this from my phone as my system is BSOD if I enable my network adapter...
    I've done multiple troubleshooting restarts disabling and enabling differant components and from I can discern it's the network adapter(s) causing it...
    I'm using the built in NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet device.  I've updated all system drivers (as far as I can tell) from the Nvidia site. But if this device is enabled I'd get BSOD every 5 mins or so..
    I disabled the NForce adapter and tried using a Belkin N Wireless device... But I'm also getting BSOD when that is enabled (which is using a completely different driver).
    Has anybody heard of this problem?  I'd be happy to upload more system info if needed, as long as my system stays stable long enough to transfer the info. >.<
    Info I can provide:
    BlueScreenView shows the crash as a UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP in address ntosknl.exe+70740
    this happens every 5 mins almost exactly.
    Mobo: nf750-g55
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4
    Memory: 4096mb Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz
     

    The new installation that you did with the new motherboard seems to have a problem.
    When you then install the motherboard drivers, try SafeMode.
    Have a look in Windows' logs, under Admin..., for errors.

    I have a HP Pavilion PC model a6430f which has a NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet built in to the motherboard.  There is no wireless ability.  When I turn the PC on, it boots fine, but is unable to connect to the internet.  After I reset my network adapter several times, it connects and works great until I turn it off and back on.  I am running Vista Home Prem. with service pack 2.  I did run "msinfo32" and have the nfo file available.
    I can hopefully take care of this with just a setting change or a new driver.  If not, can I buy a new network adapter and just install it on the motherboard?  If so, do I have to do something to the adapter already installed?
    Thanks for your help,
    Regards, Gary

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the suggestion on finding a remedy to my problem with my network adapter.  I did follow the link you sent me and installed all of the updated drivers from the NVIDIA site.  Unfortunately, nothing changed with my network access problem.  I still get the following message:  ”Can not communicate with Primary DNS Server (192.168.1.254).  Reset the network adapter “Local Area Connection.”  When I reset the network adapter several times, I finally do get connected and it works fine until I turn the PC off and attempt to turn it back on.   I hate to replace the network adapter when it appears that it does work.  The problem may be a driver or something else.  Any other ideas?
    Regards,
    Gary

  • K8N NEO PLATINUM Nvidia nforce 3 250 GB Chipset rebooting - hanging !@$%@#$@

     
    Hi folks,
    I am working on the K8N NEO platinum motherboard based on the Nvidia nforce 3 250 GB Chipset.
    A couple of days ago I lost my internet connection (broadband). After a couple of minutes it ok again. But suddenly the computer frooze.
    After rebooting (button on case) I found out that lots of things couldn't be closed anymore once they were opened. I needed to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to go the the active Tasks. But then that started to freeze too so I decided to wipe everything of the system.
    I repartioned and reformated the computer with the win XP PRO CD and reinstalled the OS. I saw immediatly that the system was slower then before and that it did not found the internet connection anymore. I checked the LAN connection and there it sayed that the LAN card was working well but that no cables were connected. This was not true because I dubbel checked them twice. I even replace the cable. It was not my Internet provider neighter because the computer is in a local network and others had no problem to access the internet. So I decided to reinstall and reinstall it again. I reinstalled the system (partioning, formatting) it 4 times. The last time suddenly it found my connection back. Then I installed all updates of windows and I used my live update from MSI to update my components.
    I am using live update 3 and updated the BIOS and all other parts who needed to be updated. This was done without the presence of a AV and so on. Everything went well and no errors occured. I received everytime a message with success.
    Today my computer suddenly hanged itself again. This already 3 times. Nothing is possible anymore except the boot button on the case.
    I also encountered 3 times the while surfing the computer suddenly reboots itself without any warning or message.
    What the hell is going wrong here ???   
    Can aynone give me a clue please ?
    Is the motherboard dying ?

  • Laserjet Pro 200 M251nw - assist in removing network adapter

    I need some guidance as to whether or not I can safely remove the wireless network adapter from this printer, and if so, how can I accomplish this? The printer is designated for use in a closed area, in which no wireless devices are permitted.

    Hi,
    Remove any wired connection before attempting to connect via wireless.
    Print off the printers network configuration and check the settings against your routers settings.
    Ensure that router and printer are using the same frequency.
    Review this HP posted information once you have the above information in hand.
