Onboard NIC, KT4V MS-6712

Hi there,
When i try to connect to the internet with the onboard nic of my KT4V MS-6712 i get the error message "one of the networkcables is not connected".
With an sepperate nic i don't have any problems.
Is there some setting i did forget?
Nic is already enabled in the bios !
I have 3 machines behind an Edimax router with a cable connection.
System specs:
KT4V MS-6712
AMD AthlonXP 1600+
TwinMos 256Mb PC2100
Hercules 3D Prophet 128Mb
Creative Live! 5.1
Maxtor 60Gb 7200rpm
Q-Tec PSU 550 watt
OS Win XP pro

I have the same problem on my ms-6712, the onboard LAN doesn't seem to work correctly, if I connect the network cable to the onboard LAN the lights flash on the modem and the board but I can't get an IP address for the LAN. Although it works fine on my PCI NIC. Very strange!
I've tried, in a desperate attempt, to use a cross over cable but that didn't work either. Although it shouldn't work with a cross over cable anyway.
If anyone has an answer for this one I'd sure like to know!

K7N2 Delta2 :: Onboard NIC Once Flawless, Now cannot find Network

Hello, and thank you for reading my Support Query!
Heres the Deal. For the past Couple of Months, I've had little to no problems with my K7N2D2. Everything worked to my expectations.
Until Last Night, was online, and downloading some Bittorrent Files when all my connections suddenly drop'd from Maximum to Nothing.
First Thought : ADSL Dropped or Router Stalled... So, I Restart ze Modem, Restart the Hub. All their Flashes go Normally, and I wait a few moments for everything to Synch Up. Then Tried refreshing google.com .. to No Avail, its -instantly- reporting it cannot find the address, yadda yadda.
2nd Thought : Oh, maybe Verizon's Service was interrupted... But No, I walk into the other room, where my Bro's Comp is at, and the Net is Fully Functional and Online. [ He also has a K7N2-D2 MB.. The Comp which im typing at right now]
Weirdness : I Cannot Connect to the Routers IP Address. I Cannot even Connect to any other the computers on the Network. [ This all Used to Work Perfectly, Small Home Network of 3 Comps, With Lots of Read Only Shared Folders, for Music / Movies ]
Continued Wierdness : Everything in the Device Manager seems to Say everything is in perfect working Order, and I Can Ping Local Address [ 127.0.0.1 ] With No Problem. I Tried Pinging the Router, but it couldnt find Destination?
ipconfig/all Reports that, DHCP is Enabled, AutoConfig is Enabled, but it cant find the Gateway or DHCP Server.
What is going on? Did I Fry the NIC with too Many Torrents?
I Tried Hooking up a Old D-Link NIC Card I've had around for awhile, Not Sure why but it didnt want to Work.. Maybe cuzz its been sitting in storage for years.
Help is greatly appreciated, Is there anyway I Can run a diagnostic on the Onboard NIC? Yarr.

Hi all.
I'm new here, but have to write, coz I have exactly the same problem, like Nookovski.
I'm using my K7N2 D2platinum for more than 1 years, without any problem, using the onboard LAN for internet (connected to ADSL cable modem), and another Ethernet card for internal LAN.
2 days ago, I was playing network game with friends, when suddenly my connection was lost. I tried to reach homepages, but no avail. Try to ping some common addresses, nothing happens, 100% lost.
I rebooted, and saw, that my ip address for netconnection changed to 163... etc. This is weird, coz originally my ISP always give some 80... etc from DHCP.
I tried renew my ip, no success.
Called my ISP, they said, they can see my modem, but can't see my PC. I have to plug the cable to my another ethernet card for a moment - I did it, and they saw my pc in this case. They adviced to reinstall my onboard NIC driver. OK, perhaps later.
After all, I found an old Ethernet card (Realtek family) in my case, so I installed it. After a quick reboot my netconnection was fine through this new card. So no network problem on ISP side, there is something with my onboard LAN.
I tried to uninstall / remove the driver from hardware settings panel, but the window freezes. If I reboot in safe mode, and try to remove again, windows says : cannot remove, device is needed for operation. (or smth like this)
I tried reinstall LAN components from the latest MSI driverset, but nothing changed. I think it cannot overwrite the old (damaged?) files.
Now I'm using 2 PCI eth.card, one to connect with another PC, and one for internet. I disabled the onboard LAN from bios. But this is annoying, I don't understand what happend from one minute to another, and I would like to use my integrated NIC!
I found some posts here, advising to set the MAC address in bios manually, regarding to a sticker on the mobo, but I don't have such an option in BIOS.
What should I do now? Are there any solution?
Thanx!

KT6V 7021 - OnBoard NIC "dead" after BIOS 2.00 update ... any thoughts?

Hi!
Just flashed KT6V BIOS 2.00 and now my onboard nic suddenly stopped working.
The network adapter gets recognized by Windows as usual, but although I do get a dhcp lease from my server I'm unable to connect to any share on it. It's also impossible to surf the web or to simply ping any local/remote host. If I try to connect to the system from any other workstation on the lan it doesn't work either.
The network status only shows a great amount of sent packages - caused by AVAST! as it tries to look for an update on boot - but only "0" received.
I flashed the BIOS from the emergency diskette and did a CMOS clear (Jumper) afterwards. And yes, I did disconnect my PSU from the wall socket.
Since I need network access to the system I tried stepping back to BIOS 1.90 but with no avail - the onboard nic doesn't receive a single paket after it has got it's dhcp lease.
Any clue what might be wrong and how I'm able to get my nic back to work?
Thank you in advance for any useful help.

Hi Fredrik.

So if you were to downgrade BIOS problems would go away, right?
I have already downgraded to BIOS 1.90 and the problem stayed the same - the onboard nic is still dead beef.
Quote
When clearing CMOS there can be no el. left in your system, so unplug power cable etc.
As mentioned in my first post I _have_ unplugged the power cord from the wall socket.
Quote
If the new BIOS would affect NIC card... Hm, it is hard to see quite how.
I can't think of any reason either, however, the nic went dead after updating to BIOS v2.00. I assume that there must be some kind of "network code" inside the bios which has to do with the onboard nic - otherwise I'm unable to explain why the MAC address suddenly changed to "11:22:33:44:55:66". If I would only have a clue on how to access and/or flash the nic ... ???
Quote
Is there any error marks for the nic in say Device Manager, if you get that far?
Nope, there is no question or exclamation mark on the network card in the device manager. Windows thinks the card is working, but in reality it isn't. As already stated: No traffic from/to the network.

KT4V MS-6712 Odd sounds

Got this mobo a few weeks back now, everything seemed to be running fine. Decided to change the heatsink/fan for something less noisey.
Now I have noticed a noise !! Sounds like a off centre fan ! Checked all the fans in the system, nope they are all fine. Then realised the noise only happens when I move the mouse(usb) or hotsync my palm(usb) or use the keyboard(ps2) !
The noise is not coming from the soundcard, it appears to from the mobo itself !
Anyone come across this before ?

Installing driver for onboard NIC

I'm new to Solaris and have a question as to how to install drivers for my onboard NIC. I found drivers that might work but I don't know what to do with them. Do I use the tar command? Will it put it in the right directory that way or do I need to move it somewhere else first.
If the drivers work, can I then set it up for DHCP? I've read a little bit about it. Will this work: ifconfig <interfacename> auto-dhcp?

Before this gets completely out of hand, like a recent thread,
let's get a few things out of the way.
What hardware do you have? Brand? Model?
What precise Ethernet chipset do you have?
Integrated to the systemboard? Add-on card ?
If this is some sort of a PC, have you checked the
Solaris Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/
and have you compared your hardware to what's on that list ?
Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "maybe" or "might work"
when you are speaking of driver software packages.
They would be correct or they would be wrong.
What driver software are you considering?
If you downloaded it, provide the link.
There should be a README file with the software, even if it's not named "readme".

Onboard NIC (realtek) 785GT-E63

As many in newegg have noticed about this mainboard - the onboard NIC will lose connection (timeouts) every so often, and it's quite frustrating. Finally , i just popped in an old Linksys PCI NIC and it's doing great, but i would love to have the extra room by using the onboard NIC. It appears, from what I have read, that only the original driver for W7_64 bit actually works correctly, and every subsequent driver after that has the same timeout issues, and it does not only affect this MSI board - it has also affected a few others (AMD AM2+/AM3). I guess my question is, since i lost the original disk lol, is there anyone that can point me to the original driver included with the mainboard CD (W764 bit) ? I have been out of the PC building scene for about 2 years, but i do know what i'm doing, how to read manuals etc.... and search known issues, and indeed - this is a very well known issue with this particular board, and it is my first MSI, usually using Giga or Asus, other than this issue, I love the board.
Basic Specs AMD PHII 840/8GB Patriot DDR2_1066/ 600W PSU/ nvidia GTX260/W764

Well, as i suspected - a reformat, with W7 using an older driver as default, about two years old, likely a Vista driver works fine now. I just need to remember to not allow MS update or DL any new drivers for this NIC. :D

KT4V (MS-6712) hangs on "Checking NVRAM.."

Hi All. I am using a KT4V (MS-6712) with an Ath.XP 2.1GHz and one PNY 512MB 333MHz DDR.
The PC has been working perfectly since I purchased the KT4V three weeks ago. (by the way I am *so* impressed with this MSI MB - my first MSI!)
Now, on power-up POST hangs at "Checking NVRAM.."
If RESET is pressed, machine boots through POST normally and runs perfectly again.
I'm concerned the NVRAM error may be signs of bad things to come - can someone suggest where to start diagnosing the problem? Test RAM throughoutly with some utility, etc.
Thanks,
AtlScout (Sam)

Thanks to everyone who responded; I reset CMOS and that seems to have solved the problem. I hope every BIOS update won't cause the same problem! :-)
Thanks again

KT4V MS-6712 Modem Install Problem

Hi everyone,
I've just got a KT4V(MS-6712) board and finally got it to work with the 2400XP and 2xPC700 256mb RAM. (It woudn't take a 512mb stick).
My problem is I cannot install my v92 or v90 modem. When I go through the usual procedure in the Hardware Wizard, I get an "Error occurred" message at the very end of the installation in the wizard.
I've tried the modems in another motherboard using the same procedure of installation and everything works fine. I've also installed a TV card in the PCI slot to see if there was a problem with the slots, but it installed ok.
Could some please guide me in the right direction? I'm I missing somthing here, a BIOS setting or something? Could it be a serial conflict?
Thanks in advance, mrnickyp

Thank you to all who helped me through these strange issues. I found out what the issue was. These are the steps: (this is off another newsgroup)
This applies to any type of PCI card eg ethernet cards, modems, etc
etc. and XP and Windows 2000.
PROBLEM: After installing new card in a PCI slot, get "invalid data"
error message and the drivers refuse to install. The card is
correctly identified by the system and the drivers found are MS
certified. Not sure why this happens, but at a guess, this problem
seems to occur when installing XP or W2K and many PCI slots are still
unused. XP and W2K for some dumb reason then appear to "protect" these
unused PCI slots by making them "READ ONLY" in the registry.
SOLUTION: After mucking around for many hours trying to reset bios
settings for PCI cards, trying to re-install XP etc, finally came
accross the solution. Thanks to MarkS whoever he is for finding this.
STEP 1 - Start, Run... and type "regedt32" without the quotes to run
the Registry Editor. (Regedit wont work!)
STEP 2 - Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI
STEP 3 - you will see a number of keys of the form "VEN_xxxx", where
xxxx are
strings like "1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_04". Under each of
these
folders will be another folder with a long numerical name. Open each
long numerical name folder and look in RHS window for the "DeviceDesc"
which matches the hardware you are trying to install.
STEP 4 - Once you have found the right one for your problem device,
navigate back up to the VENxxx level for that device, Right Click on
the "VEN_xxxx" for that device and select 'Permissions'. You should
notice that the permissions are set to READ ONLY. Then tick "Allow"
for "Full Control".
STEP 5 - Close Regedit and then continue with the installation of your
device, ie go back to Control Panel, Add new hardware and preferable
use the wizard to try and detect the hardware again, or do it manually
and use your driver disk.
STEP 6 - The PCI hardware should install now with no problems.
After downloading the latest drivers and installing that, the sound card worked successfully. Oh, and lynux, I believe you are correct, the pci input device was for the firewire.
This worked for me, now I just need to ensure that the USB bracket works. (any more ideas?)
-> addition: USB works. Tried it and everything was detected right away...
again... thanks so much for everyone's help.

KT4v MS-6712 problems

Hello,
I have a KT4v MS-6712 mainboard and I have lately experienced som problems with it.
I first thought it was the power supply that was broken because absolutley nothing happened when I tried to turn on the computer. Not even the diods at the network connection was light up. I replaced the power supply with a new one and now the computer gets power (the diods are light up), but nothing still happens when I try to start up the computer.
So my question is, are there any way to configure the mainboard in a way that makes the computer start as soon as I switch on the power supply (instead of using the power switch connection on the JFP1 front panel connection)? I want to make sure that it is not just the front panel that is broken.
I would really apprieciate your help!

Do all or any fans start up?
Take the motherboard out, for a good visual - bad capacitators? - and for a test-run outside the case. Around the memory slots and the processor socket is where trouble mostly is found.
I hope it is as simple as a cable on the loose.

AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.
:P

KT4V (MS-6712) power suppy

I'am running a XP 2400 Througbreed with 160 GB master and a 30 GB as slave. Two CD burners,one floppy drive,120 superdisk drive and four case fans on KT4V(MS-6712).
I've install a 550 power supply and the motherboad wasn't getting any power except for the on board lan lights. So I returned it and he tested and it was good. So we lowered it to a 400 power supply and it work.
Does anyone know what's the maximuim power supply the motherboard can take? Would like to go as high as possible for future up grades,without any side affects.

K8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board - onboard nic problem? Please post your experiences

I just ordered the k8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board, with a venice 3500+ chip, from newegg. I saw various posts on the mobo, however, from people who said the onboard nic doesn't work right out of the box, that they had to go in and manually enter the mac address in Windows that they retrieved from a sticker on the parallel port.
I can deal with a problem like that easily, but I find it hard to believe MSI would ship such a defective board design as that. Is this really the commonplace experience with this board? Please post your experience with this board if you've used it or had experience with it

Quote from: Scubahard on 15-September-05, 13:22:52
Okay I typed my address under the "network addapters" and I still do not have any internet access. I even tried to reboot...and nothing. My computer knows when I have a cable hooked up to the port. It will tell me "network cable connected" or "network cable unplugged." I hooked up my netgear network card and I was able to get online.
Should I be messing with the "authentication" tab and/or the IEEE 802.1x setting?
My windows 2k computer has a broadcast "node type" while me K*N Neo2 board does not have a line for node type (under ipconfig). Also my XP computer does not have a line that will tell me the values for: DHCP Server and DNS Servers. It also has a no value for the default gateway line. It DOES have a value for the "Connection Specific DNS Suffix". It is for comcast.
I hope all this is not too confusing. I was trying to list all the questionable settings. What should I try next?
Thanks!
Well, if you're wondering about the 'dhcp server', 'dns servers', 'default gateway', etc., that is all in the 'Network Connections' folder which can be reached from the Control Panel. To get to those settings, you right-click on the 'local area connection' that corresponds to the onboard lan, and click 'properties'. Then, select 'network protocol(tcp/ip)' in the list of networking components and click the 'properties' button. That will bring up the set of tabs where you can set those properties (although there is no 'dhcp server' address setting, just the option to either specify an address or use dhcp to automatically assign an address).
I get the impression, though, that you're saying if you slap in a pci network card, it connects right away, so I doubt any of those settings are needed (unless you left out the part about going into the tcp/ip settings for the pci nic and specifying an address, etc., which I doubt you did). Have you considered contacting msi tech support on the problem? If it's a new board, I'm sure you're entitled to free tech support. It seems like, with all of the chatter on these boards over this issue, they should be well aware of it and be familiar with the ways to 'fix' it.

Unable to achieve Gigabit speeds with onboard NIC (iMAC Intel based)

Hi,
I've recently noticed that my iMAC's built in 10/100/1000 NIC is only negotiating up to 100mb. I have a direct (cat5e straight through) connection from the iMAC to a 10/100/1000 port on an Airport Extreme Base station.
I've tried several different (known good) straight through ethernet cables and I either get NO link or at most 100mb. I'm starting to think that the NIC might be flaky of failing because during a few tests with different cables, I got link after a very long delay. Close to a minute or more after plugging in the cable.
Before I call Apple tech support, I figured I'd check the forum to see if this is a known issue or if anyone else has seen this.
- Some more specs of my system....
20" iMAC (Intel based)
3 gig DRAM
OS 10.5.2
Thanks...

I'm seeing (within the Network Utility) when I select the onboard ethernet adapter that the speed is 100mb.
I've been trusting this output mainly because if I leave the Network Utility screen open and unplug or re-plug the cable back in, the speed <value> disappears and then re-appears once the speed (I'm assuming) has been negotiated.
Additionally, I've just checked the Network Utility on my Powerbook G4 (here at work), and it shows the wired ethernet speed to be (1G) as opposed to (100mb). I can think of no logical reason why my iMAC's ethernet port would be negotiating to 100mb unless either the NIC is truly flaky or the AEBS needs to somehow be configured accordingly.
Thanks. Let me know if you have any other thoughts..

KT4V MS-6712

Hi I just bought a KT4V series mb(MS-6712) when I tried to install Windows XP Professional it keeps telling me the board does not support ACPI and will not install.Can someone help me please?

Perhaps this is the answer....
The Role of the F5 Key and Shutdown Problems
When I first put this page together I meant to include this information. Unfortunately it totally slipped my mind. One of the hazards of being an Elder(ly) Geek, but better late than never. Thanks to reader Glen M. for jogging my memory.
When XP is first installed it tries to determine what type of BIOS is available on the computer. Newer systems have what is known as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) capability. Unfortunately, XP doesn't always recognize a computer BIOS is ACPI capable and doesn't install the support for ACPI. Even more unfortunate is the fact that if ACPI support isn't determined at the initial install it's virtually impossible to correct this at a later time short of reinstalling XP over the top of the previous XP installation. To do so requires changing the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The chances of successfully changing a HAL after XP has been installed is pretty close to zilch.
Once you drop the CD in the tray and fire up the computer to install XP, the first thing you'll see at the bottom of the screen is the option to press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID controller. Don't press F6. Press F5 instead. This will take you to a separate menu of Hardware Abstraction Layer's where you can choose an appropriate HAL that supports ACPI. The choices will be:
ACPI Multiprocessor PC
ACPI Uniprocessor PC
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
Compaq SystemPro Multiprocessor or 100% Compatible PC
MPS Uniprocessor PC
MPS Multiprocessor PC
Standard PC
Standard PC with C-Step i486
Other
In the majority of installations the 'Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC' HAL is the one you will want to use. A few cautions are also in order:
Obtain and install the latest BIOS for your motherboard before you begin the XP installation.
Equally as important as using the proper HAL on ACPI capable systems, is NOT using it on systems that are not ACPI compatible. The install may complete but the system will almost surely fail to start when it reboots.
There are situations where it is definitely not desirable to use an ACPI HAL even if it is supported by the BIOS. This predominately applies to servers, but to insure that an ACPI HAL will not be used or automatically detected and used, press F7 instead of F5 as discussed previously.
Considering the number of problems that users have with systems not shutting down completely I wonder why this feature is not prominently mentioned and documented. It could save many headaches, but now you know. A good piece of knowledge to have tucked away for your next XP install.
As a final note, to determine if your computer was detected as being ACPI enabled:
Right click My Computer then click Properties > Hardware > Device Manager.
Expand the entry called Computer.
If the entry is 'Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC' you're all set. If it says 'Standard PC' the computer BIOS was not detected as being ACPI capable.
