The PCI NIC is BCM5705KFB I'm guessing it doesn't support jumbo frames or a MTU greater than 1500.. can't get ifconfig to work properly. :mad:

What were the MTU values that you used?

Apparently with the tg3 driver (the PCI NIC I installed), it won't let you disable auto-negotiation AND set it to 1000FD at the same time. :mad:

Since posting this, I've installed a PCI Gigabit NIC into my Ubuntu Server machine. sandbox:/home/chris# ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full...

I've got a network setup here at home. Following is an image depicting my network setup. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f287/chrisfnet/network-diagram.gif I'm running Windows XP Professional on my desktop machine. It's connected at 1Gbps. I've got 7' Cat 5e run from it to the switch...

Oh, I've also tried both the MS supplied nForce drivers as well as the official nVidia release. It made no difference.. :confused:

I'm using SmartFTP to upload/download in this situation.

Copy the file from your floppy disk to the desktop of the Windows 98 machine and then attempt to deflate/decompress it. It looks as though it's trying to decompress that file on the floppy disk itself and there's not enough room.

I logged on here to try and figure out why Vista's networking sucks so much. I'm currently uploading at 280KB/s on a Gigabit network. :confused: I have an AMD 64 X2 4200+, 2GB PC3200, Asus A8N-E (connected at 1Gigabit according to Vista's network Status information), dual SATA-300 160GB HDDs...

I have this older eMachine that someone dumped on me because they couldn't get it to work. It's a T2460. It's not a -bad- machine really... Anyway, it powers up.. doesn't BEEP/POST and has no video output. I've tried reseating the RAM, resetting the CMOS and checking jumpers and I can't find...

JohnleMVP, how do you even engage the screen rotate?

I got mine a couple of days ago. Installed and running perfectly. It's quite nice so far. :)

Ahhh... hmm. Well, it is working now. :) In my opinion, I think the IDE controller was screwed and somehow the CMOS reset allowed it to work again. It was weird that it'd format.. partition... copy over the base system and then not boot. Heck, using the Ultimate Boot CD it didn't even...

Showed everything as being just fine.. not sure what the deal was.

The machine I'm working on had a floppy drive. But, I seem to have gotten it to work. I used a Knoppix CD to boot, wrote all 0's to the drive and formatted it to be NTFS. Then, I booted the XP install and let the XP install format the drive to NTFS.. installed and it boots up fine now. I've...

It's an 80GB Western Digital. Hmm...

So maybe try jumpering as Master instead of Cable Select?

I don't have a floppy drive. :( An interesting thing I just found is that when I booted with "Ultimate Boot Disk" and viewing the drive.. it didn't seem to have a partition or any data AFTER the Windows XP install supposedly formatted the drive NTFS and installed the base system. So uh...

I already checked the boot order out: CDROM, A, C All that's connected is a DVD-ROM drive and the primary HDD. Update: Cleared the CMOS.. trying another install of XP. Now I get "Non system disk or disk error". Interesting...

So, I'm working on this computer that's really intriguing me. I get the dreaded "Operating System Not Found" (before I tried to reinstall Windows 2000) and I've found no way to get around it. I've tried resetting the BIOS to default, changing the HDD transfer modes.. everything I can think...

I don't patronize Best Buy at all and never will again after the multiple horrible experiences I've had over the years.

Just ordered a new motherboard for the guy. Figured it's probably the only solution.

True... good point. The first thing I even checked was the power, too. I know sometimes that can happen if it's under-powered.. I guess I'll just get him a new motherboard, swap out the proc and everything else.

It wasn't powered, no.

Okay, I just cleared the CMOS and loaded the defaults into the BIOS... no go. Same boat I was in before. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'll try that in just a few. Now I just have to figure out how to on my P4 PB400. :) I also tried disabling ACPI in the BIOS - that didn't help either.

Other USB devices work (my thumb drive, for example). I did just plug a USB 1.1 hub into the back (directly) and the mouse into it.. and it recognizes the mouse. However, the mouse dies every 15-20 seconds for some reason. If I turn the mouse over and prompt the laser (put my finger over...

Do you have an Nvidia video card? *EDIT* Read your sig.. http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t10141.html

I've tried another USB mouse, same deal. Both of the mice work in both an OSX machine and Windows XP machine.

I have reinstalled XP on a previously working system. XP Pro installs just fine, but it will not detect a mouse (PS/2 or USB). I can accept the fact the PS/2 port may not work. That's the only explanation I can think of. When I plug the mouse into the USB port XP says that the device has...

Yay!

The install so far is going well on a completely different hard drive. It hasn't finished yet, but it's actually... progressing. I guess it was the hard drive.

Something tells me it might just be the HDD. I just tried to do a "full" NTFS format instead of a "quick" and.. for 10-15 minutes it didn't even get to 1%.

That didn't work either. I've tried... everything I can think of.

Going to try a different CD-ROM drive.. heh

It's not the IDE cables, either. Put two, known working cables in - same problem. The only thing I CAN blame now is the disc.

It's not the RAM... I just swapped it out with another stick - same problem. Burning Ultimate Boot CD instead... going to try swapping out IDE cables next.

I'm downloading the Ultimate Boot CD right now, as I try installing again. It says "Setup cannot copy the file: filename". It doesn't say whether or not the problem is with reading or writing. Just for giggles, I'm going to throw in another different stick of RAM instead of the one in it...

I'm going to try memtest86 as well, if a few other things don't work. I've tried two different Windows XP discs, both yield the same results. :(
