P7N 750i SLI platinum, no Local area connection

Hi,
i have something very weird with my second p7n 750i platinum mobo(first one i had to send back because it didnt post), i dont have a local area connection in network connections and i am using the onboard network controller, the only thing i see in there is the firewire.
owkay first things first, i installed windows SP2 and updated it to SP3, then did the nforce drivers that came with the mobo, got a BSOD with those on the nvgts.sys error for sata drives and the ethernet controller with those nforce drivers installed correctly and i had an local area connection visible in network connections(could see this in safe mode), but since i couldnt boot into normal windows with BSOD i deleted those nforce drivers and downloaded the latest from nvidia 8.43.
i installed the nforce 8.43 drivers just the ethernet part without errors in normal windows since i was able to boot back to it.
Now i dont see a Local area Connection but i do have an active connection(i get ip address from dhcp and am able to do everything on the internet and network)
first thing i tried then was again removing the 8.43 drivers and install the drivers from the cdrom again without the sata stuff just the ethernet drivers but then the network adapter didnt work at all so i went back to the 8.43 drivers with the same result, i have a connection, i just dont see it
ive tried everything i could think of to get it to show up but havent found anything,
maybe any of you can help with this
the image shows what i mean on the right side and you can see in device manager its there and also in ipconfig

Everything is fine now
i did another fresh install but this time with a dutch windows XP SP2 not english and now i do have a LAN icon in network connections and im using the same driver installers as before, very strange.
and to answer NovJoe: on the english xp i could install all drivers without errors, from nforce i only installed ethernet drivers and SM bus controller, only thing was that the ethernet controller was not fully recognized by windows i think so it didnt show it in network connections but how or why i have no clue.
As you can see in my screenshot in the command window next to ethernet adapter it should have said Local area connection except it shows a bunch of numbers but its fine now, ill stay with my dutch win xp then.

MOVED: Overclocking e8400 with P7n 750i SLI Platinum

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124268.0

Hi there,
The CPU multiplier is indeed locked at 9 (at least it won't go any higher). As you mentioned, the cpu clock is your FSB X multiplier. In your case, 333X9.
So, when one cannot change the multiplier, we instead change the bus speed. You need to increase the FSB speed. Beware that this will also change your memory speed, so depending on the ram spec and fsb:ram ratio, it may be running overclocked.
Generally you can achieve a small overclock by merely adjusting the FSB. To get a larger, stable overclock you will inevitably need to increase your voltages. There are a few guides on how to do this stickied in this forum. I recommend reading them and doing some research before you start any voltage changes.

Local area connection doesn't have valid ip

I have a Touchsmart 320-1030 that belongs to a friend. Everything was working fine then for no apparent reason connection to the internet was lost. They have contacted their isp and gone through all troubleshooting with them. All other equipment (ie laptops, phones, ect..) connect and work fine. The windows troubleshooter offers no help and says local area connection doesn't have valid ip is the reason it won't connect. This is true when trying to connect wired or wireless. I piddle with fixing computers as a hobby so they have asked me to see what I can do if anything. I have been Googling, reading, and trying everything I have found for three days and have had no luck. So I am hoping I can find some help here. I have never seen anything like this. It may be a hardware problem and I'm not smart enough to realise it. But I need to know that too.
System -
Touchsmart 320-1030
Win 7 Home Premium
4 gigs ram
What I have done -
Brought system to my house to see if it will connect, it does not so I am working on it here.
I have rebooted modem & router
Connected systen directly to modem bypassing router
Uninstalled and allowed windows to detect and reinstall network drivers
Updated network drivers
Updated Bios
Tryed to inatall orginal drivers from support but they wont install
I have changed from detect automaticly to use this ip in tcip ip4 and used ip I know is good to my router -
When I did this last thing the wireless did see my network but the network 2 thingy that it makes still won't connect even tho when I search for connections the list says I am connected to my network. The little thing by the clock says not connected. Also the ethernet adapter says unknown public network when I do that. Wireless says unknown public network or connection when I have it detect ip automaticly.
Network discovery will not turn on in homegroup, nether will the services assocated with it.
I have run tweaking . com firewall repair
I have uninstalled avast security, there are no other av or firewall programs
I have uninstalled bonjoir because I read that causes a conflict of somekind
I have run tweaking . com windows repair ( just in case because it looked liked the firewall repair was doing something).
I have run sfc /scannow and it found and fixed some things, ran it again and it found nothing.
I am pulling my hair out with this one. Please help.
Thanks for your time.

Local Area Connection

Every time i plug up the router it says limited or no local area connectivity
and when i put the modem back on it works so wats happening?
Model: WRT56G
I have windows xp
Message Edited by Eric11 on 11-12-2007 05:33 PM

As it shows "limited or no connectivity" on Local area connection...... it means itis not getting valid Ip address from router .....
Power cycle the router for 20-30 seconds ...... check that you are getting Ip address or not ...
If not ..... change the port from the back panel of router ......
Or lower down the card speed of Ethernet NIC to 10 Half Mbps ....
If still you are not getting valid Ip reset the router for 30-40 seconds & see whether there is any Ip address or not....

How to change the properties of the local area connection

Try to make change in the properties of the local area connection, i.e. click Start --> Control panel --> Network Connection --> Local Area Connection --> properties. Then select Internet Protocal(TCP/IP), click on the Properties. Normally, the PC is set at Obtain an IP address automatically. Now need to change to Use the following IP address, then enter the IP address, Default gateway address. after that, click OK.
I am wondering, is Labview could do the setup as described? Once all done, is it possible to change the TCP/IP setting back to "Obtain an IP address automatically"?
Thanks,
Test

Thanks smercurio_fc.
I tried but not working. The way I try to do is connnecting two PCs directly through Ethernet cable. Then change the IP addresses as mentioned, after that ping another PC. If done manully, working.
After run the program you mentioned in your email, I check the "ipconfig /all" in the DOS window, it is still the old IP address. If changed manually, check ipconfig in the DOS window, it is changed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Multiple Local Area Connections created at each boot

I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 8.1 - I work from home & connect to the internet via my home wifi network.
The problem I have been experiencing is that my laptop connects to the internet at boot up but then disconnects for several minutes & then re-connects again. This coincides with the Network & Sharing Centre showing a number of Local Area Connections
(numbered 3,4,5,6 etc) being created under Unidentified Public Networks. I have tried disabling the LAC's but they re-enable whenever I re-boot & I have the same issues again. I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to rectify this issue. Thanks.

Hi,
Please try to flush the DNS cache for test:
1. Press Win+X to open the WinX Menu.
2. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
3. Type the following command and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
4. If the command was successful, you will see the following message:

Enable Local Area Connection in windows server 2008 r2

Hi,
3 Days back i installed the Oracle Virtual box and after installing Ubuntu in it, when i changed the network mode from NAT to bridge, i lost the connectivity with server.
The data center guys has provided a channel in which we can access the server command prompt.
Using this i have removed the following entries from the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VBoxDrv
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VBoxNetAdp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VBoxNetFlt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VBoxNetUSBMon
but now issue is my network card "Local Area Connection" is not getting enabled and i cant access my server.
How can i enable my Local Area Connection back.
Thanks

Hi
Netsh can do this for you:
netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection" admin=enabled
Replace "local area connection" with your connection name.

Imaqdx multiple cameras show as Local Area Connections in System tray, but only one shows up in MAX.

I have two GigE cameras (Pulnix 4200GE) in my system, each having it's own NI GigE Vision Adapter. The adapters show up in Network Connections and in the system tray as "Local Area Connection" (LAC) and "Local Area Connection 2" (LAC2). However, I can only see one camera at a time in MAX. If I start with both adapters disabled, then enable LAC followed by LAC2, I see one camera (cam0), then both (cam1 shows up) but about 6 seconds later the second camera (cam1) disappears! If I enable the adapters in the reverse order (LAC2 followed by LAC), only cam0 shows up. I can see each camera alone by disabling the other adapter but I cannot get them both to stick around.
There is also an anomoly in the MAX display of the cameras. If I right-click the camera in the NI-IMAQdx folder the context menu has a 'Camera->' sub-menu which shows both cameras even if one has had its adapter disabled. And regardless of which camera I see (cam0 or cam1) the list shows the same camera is checked. This is in conflict with the data showed in the Camera Information tab of the attributes pane in MAX, which shows a different camera (ID'd from the serial number) based upon which one shows up in the folder list. And changing the selection check-marked in the 'Camera->' sub-menu has no effect on the information displayed in the attributes pane.
I have followed the troubleshooting guide and they are both DHCP-enabled and have Auto private addressing enabled. I have updated the Adapter drivers. This is a NI PXI system running Win XP.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jesse

If you are running Windows XP you need to go to the network settings tab in Windows and bridge the two "NI Gige Vision Adapter" ports together (select both, right click and select option to bridge network adapters). This is due to a deficiency in Windows XP where multiple adapters within the same logical subnet (the link local address space, in this case) are not able to be used independently for broadcast traffic. This workaround is not needed on Windows Vista or later.
The details you are seeing by right-clicking the camera in MAX is the list of camera files (saved settings) that can be associated with the camera. You probably have two because both were visible at one point or another to IMAQdx and so unique ones were created. They are probably both associated with the same camera file because if they are both the same model name we have some logic that assumes that if one is removed and a new one is attached, to use the previous camera file. This only happens in certain circumstances---normally if you start with one camera and add a second (or start with two) they will both get unique files created to store their settings. In your case you can use MAX to set the correct association as needed.

What does the "Local Area Connection* 12" mean?

using the commands below(win 8.1 professional):
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid=myWifiName key=myWifiPwd
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
In Windows 7, the commands will generate "Wireless Network Connection 2"(I think the reason is that there already exists a connection called WLAN. So it starts from number 2).
In Windows 8.1, the commands will generate "Local Area Connection* 12"(I could not figure out the reason why the number is 12 and what the asterisk means???).
I could not stop myself from thinking why the number starts from 12 and what the asterisk means? I could not get useful info from google. So I registered an account. Could you help me please ? thanks.

Windows makes several "simulated" network adapters for various purposes. For example, if you're on an IPv4-only network, but you want to connect to an IPv6 computer on the internet, Windows can create a simulated network adapter that tunnels the IPv6 traffic
through your IPv4 network.
There are actually quite a few of these simulated network adapters. Since they usually quietly take care of themselves, and they don't correspond to any actual network hardware that you (the end-user) can see or touch, Windows will hide them by default,
to avoid clutter.
Now suppose Windows just started numbering all the adapters with the same naming scheme ("Ethernet 1", "Ethernet 2", "Ethernet 3", . . ., etc.). Then by the time you actually install your actual NIC, it would probably get a name like "Ethernet 7".
But since Windows hides the first 6 network interfaces, you'd see a listing that only includes one NIC: "Ethernet 7". And you'd probably say "stupid Windows doesn't know how to count."
So instead, we have two numbering schemes. Real, physical NICs get numbered "Ethernet ###" (or "Wi-Fi ###", etc.) while all the hidden network adapters get "Local Area Connection* ###". That way, the NICs that you see will be numbered
starting from 1, even though there are a big pile of hidden network interfaces that were installed first.
What does the asterisk mean? The asterisk used to be the signal that the NIC was a hidden NIC. Older versions of Windows named all visible NICs "Local Area Connection ###", and hidden ones were distinguished by adding an extra asterisk.
These days, we try to avoid using nerdy jargon like "Local Area Connection" when talking to you, so we changed the naming pattern to "Ethernet". But since hidden NICs don't matter, we kept their old naming pattern with the asterisk.
If you're curious, you can see all the network interfaces on your system with this PowerShell command:
Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden
(I'm the engineer that invented and implemented Windows's current NIC naming policies.)

Local Area Connection - Network cable unplugged

Hello everybody.
I got a problem with my network adapter. When I plug the internet cable to use my cable connection no signal is received from the adapter and my Windows 7 tells me that the cable is not plugged , although it is and now I don't know what to do. I did basically these things below:
1. Tried using another computer and the same cable, and it worked fine! It means that the cable is not the problem.
2. Tried updating its driver, but windows 7 says I already have it,altough it's not the last one, but I don't believe it is the problem.
3. Rebooted my computer, reconnected and everything about it so many times and nothing helped me out.
What could I do on my own before sending to a specialist?
Hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance.

If the device is installed and not marked with an exclamation point or red X in device manager, it is installed correctly. Check to make sure that the pins inside the connection are there and straight. There should be 8 connectors.

When I try to install "Addblock Plus", a pop-up box displays "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)". My local area connection status box shows that it is connected but that nothing is being received.

I am using Firefos 9.0.1 under Windows XP. I use Avast anti-virus. My Add-ons bar is empty. I have not initiated the installation of any plug-ins. Downloads keeps no record of my attempts.

Thank you for your interest mha007. This is an update on my evenings activities so far.
I have done that trouble shooting with results, as follows:
Started in safe mode
In Tools/Options/Advanced/General, I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Clicked on Tools/Add-ons
"Get add-ons" displayed "Loading" indefinitely
All 5 Extensions are dis-abled: it suggested that I remove "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" & "Test pilot 1.2".
On "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" I Clicked "Remove". It remained but with version 0.0.0.
On "Test pilot 1.2" I clicked "Remove". It disappeared.
The single Appearance "Default 9.0.1" is disabled
None of the 16 plug-ins are disabled.
I clicked on Add-ons and "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading"
Several minutes later I found that, "Add-ons" had loaded.
I clicked on "Most popular" and then on "Add to Firefox " within "Adblock plus"
A pop-up box displayed "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)".
Within a minute, a Firefox "Alert" pop-up window opened with the message: "An error occurred during a connection to www.mozilla.org:443 / The OCSP server experienced an internal error. / (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_server_error)"
I bookmarked the "Most popular add-ons page"
I closed Firefox and opened it again - not in safe mode.
Clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading".
In Extensions, on "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" I Clicked Disable", and Restart Firefox
I clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading". Message displayed "Connected to services.add-ons.mozilla.org. Waited.
10 minutes later I opened a new tab and clicked on the "Most popular add-ons page" bookmark. Message displayed "Connected to add-ons.mozilla.org". Waited.
15 minutes later, neither of the tabs had responded. I re-started firefox in safe mode
I clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading". Message displayed "Connected to static-ssl-cdn.addons.mozill.net"
Using the new tab from above which was not active on restart, I clicked on the "Most popular add-ons page" bookmark.
The bookmarked page opened. I clicked on "Add to Firefox " within "Adblock plus"
Again, a pop-up box displayed "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)". (No Alert this time).
I don't know what to read into all of this. Any advice on what the next best thing to do would be appreciated.

Local Area Connections and Device Manager blank

I'm running a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller with Windows 7 machines underneath it. Both on the DC and the clients the Network Connections is blank and there are no Devices in the Device Manager. I found numerous other articles having me check services,
GPOs, Registry settings, etc. However, I can't seem to make progress on resolving this issue. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my research, the blank Device Manager issue is usually due to you have a critical Windows service disabled or your permissions in the registry for the Device Manager
key are corrupt. Please make sure that the Plug and Play is running in the Services. In addition, please check the permission of key blow:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
Please right-click on Enum and choose Permission, then make sure that you have set Everyone with read permission and System with full control permission.
In addition, since your network connection was blank, you can also try to delete the Config key in the following key
to clear the configuration cache:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network
Windows automatically recreates the key if you open Network Connections folder or restart your system.
Best regards,
Susie

K8N-SLI Platinum strange behaviour

Hi there
Apart from the northbridge making a weird noise sometimes when the motherboard is on it's side (i.e. tower case standing upright), the motherboard started behaving strangely on saturday
first the computer refused to find my network, always assigning a local ip, so i tried rebooting the router a few times, and then checked my other computer which is connected to the router fine
then i tried to play a game and noticed the sound had gone, and then the game kept quitting barely after i started it so i gave that up
then, after i had to move the mouse between this one and another computer, the usb ports (all of them, no matter whether through pci card or on motherboard, the mouse stopped working
throughout all of this i rebooted many times.
i finally gave up in the evening, and the next morning on a whim i turned the computer on and everything was fine, what's going on?!?! is this linked to the northbridge at all? i've monitored all the fans and temps and all are normal and running constantly ( cpu never above 40c)
is the motherboard losing it, or maybe the power supply (all voltages seem normal too...)
my spec

480w Tagen power supply (can't remember which off had, not the 2force one, the other cheap one, it's modular tho)
i was going to take the motherboard back, but now it's working fine i'm sure they wont accept it
please help
thank you in advance
Reaps

Possible suggestions are as follows: Although the manual states that your power supply should be 450w or above i think that with your PSU your fairly border line. Remember that your psu will only draw the power that it requires and as soon as you start putting 256 Mb graphics cards and upgrading to more ram it is using even more resources and can cause your system to have all sorts of dramas and Re-boots.With your network connection problems this could be due to either network problems in your area which BT or your telephone provider can help you with or as i have recently found out.. too many net work connections that may conflict with each other.Go to your controll panel,Network and internet connections then network connections you should have your broadband or dial up connection listed. If you have more than one connection listed and for instance you dont use LAN (local area connection) Networking then you will have to uninstall this connection and disable all Lan options from the Bios i.e nVidia Mac LAN, nVidia Mac LAN ROM, Marvell Gigabit LAN, Marvell Gibyte rom.A possible other prob may be to disable your IEEE 1394 connection from the bios as i had similar problems to yours but am now okay. I am not saying any of these are related directly to your problems however they are possibilities which you may like to try. Please note also that your USB problems can be solved by using the latest Bios update (which i personally have never had any problems with) but may be risky if you have no idea how to flash your bios. My advice on this would be to read the moderators (Bas..i think) instructions as to how to do this or as he suggests unistall all your motherboards usb drivers that were installed from the disk provided by your Motherboard Manafacturer, Re-boot and let windows re-install its own USB drivers which certainly worked for me.
