I have a pentium 4 pc that had built in ethernet on the mobo, i replaced it with a gigabit ethernet.I did a speed test at speak easy with the built in and got 60ish mb. I disabled that device and used the gigabit and i got 38mb with or without jumbo frames 7k.I performed the test 4 times with similar results. I have updated both cards with the latest drivers via win update.
I'm out of ideas. Tried several different drivers, and settings. Using a fresh install of Windows 7 RC. The drivers all seem to "work", by which I mean Windows 7 has no problem with them, but no driver I've tried will let the card actually talk with anything. It keeps trying to find a DHCP address and always comes up with a 169 address. Even when I specify a static IP it still won't see anything on the network.
DHCP is working for my on board NIC, and this card works in my XP installation on this same PC.
The driver that seems to "work" the best so far is this: Download HP Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Driver 13.5.00 Rev.C for Vista64 Driver for Windows Vista64 - Softpedia
With that driver I actually get all of the nifty features in the driver properties page, and I've run all of it's diagnostic tests which all come up green.
Also worth nothing: I had this same problem with Windows 7 Beta.
Earlier many reported this problem with win 7 x64 build 7100, now I did a clean install of build 7600 x64 & the problem is now more frequently happening every 15 mins it freezes the comp.
Uploading stops
downloading sometime stops
sound/video freezes
applications stop responding
nothing can be done to the system at that time.
I am using asus P5B dlx wifi mobo with Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet lan drivers latest v 11.10.6.3 dated 6/15/09.
Is there any solution to this I am pulling my hair due to this issue & cant use the comp.
New driver for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Up grading from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Which driver do I need. The windows advisor said I need to up grade the driver?
I am Going to up grade my system to windows 7 pro 64 git from windows XP pro. It says I should download the latest driver for realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E gigabit ethernet NIC and save the Driver. How do I know which one to download?
I am having networking issues with Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install on Saturday from Windows XP and started having issues staying/getting connected to the internet with my motherboard's (ASUS A8NVM-CSM) on board Nvidia nForce networking controller. After seeing that others were having the same problem, I bought a new card, Dynex Gigabit PCI Card which installed perfectly and disabled the other one. Now I'm running into issues of my connection dropping sometimes every 5, 10, 20 minutes and the only way to get it back instantly is to do ipconfig /renew.
When I do the troubleshooter, it tells me there's something wrong with the connectivity of my modem or router, which is impossible. I say this because I live with roommates who are all using different operating systems (Vista, XP, Mac OS X Leopard) and they haven't had connection problems either. There are two routers in the house, a Netgear and a Cisco, and I haven't a problems with either of those when I was on XP, and my roommates aren't having issues with it either.
Any ideas or settings I might be able to change on this card? I've tried drivers and changing cables out, making sure Windows doesn't turn off the network card to save power...etc. Let me know if you need more information.
If you have a laptop and have a problem getting the built in SD / MMC card reader to work then I've found the "generic" one from the Twinhead german site does OK. For X-64 use the Vista driver. Expanding the zip file will give you the 32 and 64 bit drivers.
The most "Generic" drivers seem to come from the F11Y laptop series but choose from other models if this doesn't work.
Most of these drivers are pretty "Generic" so should work with a huge amount of hardware irrespective of your actual model.
HP/DELL/COMPAQ owners are usually pretty lucky as the manufacturers sites are pretty OK. It's when you buy essentially an unknown brand of laptop where you can't find the "manufacturers" site as the laptop is badged under a different name. From the link just click on the Notebook model and get the drivers.
No stupid registration or "Let's scan your computer to see what driver you need" -- and then you are re-directed to a PAY service or more adware nonsense -- I HATE those sites --what if I'm using a different computer to get the driver than the one I install it on.
I have a Samsung RC512 SO2 Netbook w/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.My Computer has two videos cards in it:
1) Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 2) NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
Currently it is using the Intel card for my built-in display on the laptop.The max resolution is only 1366 x 728. I am looking for any way to jack up the resolution.Is there a way to switch the built-in monitor's video card to the GeForce, with hopes that it offers a higher resolution?The only thing I could find is a way to utilize the Nvidia card for another monitor if I plug it in, but not for the built-in display of the laptop.
I installed the 7022 x86 version of Windows 7. Everything installed fine and there were driver issues which I anticipated but my Ethernet port is not working on Windows 7 or any other OS for that matter.
It�s a very strange situation. After it was not seen I Windows 7 I booted from my 2nd drive which has Vista on it and it was not seen there so I booted from my XP drive and it was not seen on there either.....
I have re-downloaded all the drivers for each version of the OS but none are making the NIC discoverable.
I have an nVidia 680i SLi & I am using the on board port.
I have a Toshiba Satellite a135-s4527. It has a Realtek 10/100 ethernet card in it, and an Atheros wireless card.
My ethernet card doesn't show up in device manager, but the wireless card does.
I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the appropriate drivers for Windows 7 and my model of computer and installed them, but the ethernet card still doesn't show up in device manager and I'm limited to wireless connections.
Each time i load up my computer everything is running nice and smoothly when i start to open up alot of things that uses internet (or simply play a game) all of a sudden my network card dies and starts saying "An Ethernet cable is not plugged in" blah blah. Anyways the cable works 100% I've tried about 6 different cables all resulting in the same thing..
I've tried updating the driver that still didn't fix
I've tried uninstalling the network adapter and reinstall didn't fix it
I've disabled Ivp6 thingy still doesn't fix it
I'm connected to a Router/homenetwork using a REALTEK PCIe GBE Family Controller and computer specs are in my profile.
how to keep my Ethernet card powered after shutting down my Computer. I would like to use wol(wake on lan) to turn my computer on while I'm away from home so I can use remote access to edit some files. I have configured the wol and am receiving the packets, but every time I turn off my PC the LAN card turns off as well,thus not letting me wake up my PC.
When building my Hifi mancave, I was smart enough to wire it for Cat6, etc, but not smart enough to put a few lines of cat 6 into my HTPC jack. So I only have 1 cat6 line into my computer area. My new receiver (Onkyo TX-NR809) has a ethernet port in it, which enables internet radio, media sharing, playing, firmware updating, etc. Being a techy guy I got another netcard and put it in my computer and I want to share internet to the receiver via LAN2.
I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out how to do this with Windows 7x64 to whatever system (probably linux based?). I've seen how to do it with Windows 7&XP, XP&XP, Windows 7&7 linux & Windows, and they all use some sort of "brige internet connection" or something like that, which doesn't apply to my situation. Will someone just tell me what IP stuffs to use for the following:
I have a Dell Studio XPS M1330 Laptop, has NVIDIA motherboard. I think ever since I purchased the PC this problem has occurred.Problem: NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet card will only detect an ethernet cable when I restart. The minute I unplug it, it will not detect it if I plug it back in. I have searched high and low for a solution but have not been able to find one that works. I have disabled the sleep setting on the device and made sure the computer is not allowed to turn off device to save power.Drivers are updated.
I can�t get anything faster than 5Mbs transfers over my network. This is what I have connected. I�m using a Dlink DIR-655 Router, set to connect at 1Gbps, Western Digital NAS drive, it says it�s connected at 1Gbps, and my laptop is set to connect at 1Gbps also. My laptop has a Realtek NIC, with the lastest drivers that I can find. Every thing is set to 1Gbps and, they all connect at that speed, but transferring between my NAS and my laptop, I ONLY get right at 5Mbs. Everything is connected with Cat5e cables, no long runs or anything. I�ve looked at several forums to figure out what I can do to get higher transfer speeds
I noticed that my drivers for this nic card are out of date somewhat. 2009 version.However thats not my problem thats immediately effecting my computer. Delayed or halted shutdown. runnin win7 64 bit raid 5 just installed Kasp pure 2.0 however i dont think thats the problem as i had pure 1.0 before this.
I have a Dell XPS 15Z with gigabit ethernet port, have dgs 1005d gigabit switch and WDTV live hub also with gigabit "capability"... The network cables should be fine...
The issue is that the file transfer (these are usually HD movies) from my laptop to WDTV are rather slow having in mind it's a gigabit network connection... The speed tops 15 MB/s. Same thing if I connect WDTV directly with my laptop.
The switch indicates (green light) it has set-up a gigabit connection both with WDTV and my laptop.
I have disabled autotuning, RDC, AV software etc. Tried with jumbo frames, disabling flow control - EVERYTHING
My Linksys WRT120N router no longer works, so I bought a D-Link DIR-655, which has Gigabit ports.I have a PC with Win 7 64-bit with an Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet built in the motherboard, an ASUS P5B-VM SE. I also have 4 GB of RAM and internal hard disks connected via SATA 2. The PC is connected to the router via a Cat 5 cable with the label "Type CM24AWG UL E188L30".I also bought a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CHLV2 NAS with a 2 TB HD, and it's supposed to have a Gigabit port, too. The NAS is connected to the router via the Cat 5 cable included with the NAS.I checked the settings of the Atheros, and it uses "auto" for the media type (other choices range from 10Mbps Half Duplex to 1000Mbps Full Duplex. The maximum frame size is 1514 (the default), and the receive and transmit buffers at 256. There is no "jumbo frame" property in the configurations.The NAS only has frame size for the configuration, and it's currently set at 1518 (the default). Other options are 4102, 7422, and 9694 (all labeled as "jumbo" frame sizes).
I ran LAN Speed Test from the PC with a folder in the NAS as the destination, and the results for a 100-MB file are 34 Mbps for writing and 71 Mbps for reading.I experimented by setting the Atheros media type to 1000Mbps Full Duplex and the maximum frame size to 9694. I went to the NAS and set the frame size to the highest, 9694. The transfer speed became worse.I could not find any settings in the router except for MTU for Internet connections, but I think that's not used for network file transfers, so I did not change it (the default is 1500).I would like to know if the system and components I have are supposed to be enough to do file transfers between the NAS and the PC that are faster than the results I've gotten.Also, is it necessary to modify Ethernet configurations?Finally, I do not what else to do except to do the LAN Speed test using the ff. options:
1. connect the NAS directly to the PC
2. connect to another PC, probably a laptop, that has Gigabit ethernet and is connected to the router
3. buy two cables that are identified for Gigabit networks and to replace the ones connecting the PC and the NAS to the router
a friend of mine now has a gigabit connection but can only get 400Mb download when tested via speedtest.net. while the engineer was installing everything he noted speeds of 700Mb on the laptop used for the setup.
would the lower speeds be due to the realtek network card he has?
Ever since I built this PC (about 1 month ago now) I haven't been able to put him to sleep. I can set the "time until sleep" for 1 minute and sit next to him watching and waiting, and that works, but anything more than 5 minutes and he just won't sleep.
I did some digging and figured out how to use the Event Viewer and Command Prompt "Lastwake" command to find what's waking him up. It's my Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. I imagine that means that he's getting signals from the internet while trying to sleep. I have Steam and MSN isntalled, but even when I log out of those and close them, the computer still won't sleep.
Now that I've figured out the source of the wake though I'm not sure what's the next step. I'd rather not have to unplug my internet every single time I want the computer to sleep. Aside for simple inconvenience I believe that would put some serious strain on the port over the long term (my last PC's LAN port was one of the first things to fail). So is there a setting that I can change so that the computer ignores the Network Connection's wake signals?
Today when I started up my computer it blue screened about three times at the log in screen. After the third or so time I booted my computer with the last known good configuration. At first it seemed to work; everything seemed to boot as ormal.However, I noticed that I could not connect to the internet. I went into the Device Manger and noticed a problem with my Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. Under device status it states "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" I have updated and reinstalled the drivers twice now to no avail. I do not know what the problem is.
I have Compaq cq-61 with T4400, 3GB Ram, Win 7, 64 bit.When I'm doing Backup via iTunes or doing some other "heavy" actions, the CPU and RAM goes up. There are no infections, malware etc... Just an old com that feels heavy How do I make my come lighter/faster?I'll be happy if someone can explain me about un neccessary background services, maybe disabling some graphic features etc
I've heard the pros and cons as to which is faster, but I'd really like to get the facts as to which one actually is (faster). I have Windows 7 Pro using a 64-bit OS.
At the time I have two operational systems: Windows XP SP3 x86 and Windows7 Home Premium x86.Because of my computer is pretty old and slow, Most of the time(for gaminf and work) I use WindowsXP, but for movies and music I like to use Windows7.Everything would be just fine, but i really hate restarting my computer, so I can change my OS.Is there any other way to change my OS without restarting my computer, I want to do this faster.
