The onboard lan connection has become extremely unreliable, The motherboard has two ports for LAN, and it only detects a network connection when plugged into #2.
It will only connect to the internet for around 3 minutes at a time and then lose the connection for a few minutes making me wait, and then the internet works fine, albeit a little slow. it was working fine a week ago, i did a virus/spyware scan and nothing has come up.

In the bios, the Post Check Lan Cable submenu shows,

1-2 NORMAL
3-6 NORMAL
4-5 SHORT 4.0M (Which fluctuates between 4.0 and 4.8)
7-8 SHORT 4.0M (Which fluctuates between 4.0 and 4.8)

The post check lan cable does not show results for both onboard lan ports like it does in the bios manual....
 
Thanks for the reply, im going to go buy another cable today to see if it fixes the problem.

My internet connection setup is like this

DSL modem - D-link DI-624 router - ethernet cable - main computer (one the post is about)

There are also two computers on wireless connections from the router.
 
something i forgot to ask.
which port are u using? nvidia or marvell?

if your using the nvidia try switching it to the other port.
make sure you have the marvell driver installed off of the asus cd.
 
Have you tried to reset the router? Usually there is a little button you can push w/ a pencil that resets it. I have occasionally had to do this w/ my router when I have had the same issue as you.

I just tried that, i'll see if it works, thanks for the suggestion :)

I got a new ethernet cable - New results

1-2 NORMAL
3-6 NORMAL
4-5 SHORT 2.4M (Which fluctuates between 2.4 and 3.2)
7-8 SHORT 2.4M (Which fluctuates between 2.4 and 3.2)

Is this normal?

Thanks for the help guys,
 
As far as i can tell the issue has been fixed, wether it was from resetting my router, or enabling the nvidia onboard lan... im not sure, but i appreciate all the help i got on here :)
