MCP55 Networking controller

[bigdinz]

I believe my onboard NIC is giving me problems. Every once in a while my internet connection will not work right. Anyone else seen this problem before or have anywhere I can go besides a store to buy a new card? How about the proper hardware settings as I have no idea what to change or try to get more performance or better connections.

Thanks

did you install active armor?

uninstall and reinstall the driver without active armor.

I honestly have never heard of active armor. I have never seen it on my computer for sure. Where would I get the drivers?

[uddarts]

exactly what board are you using?

check in add/remove programs and see if it listed.

the driver should be mixed in on the install cd.

have you tried updating the ethernet driver thru windows update.

No active armor! my board is a biostar TForce 550.

i'd try a windows driver update in device manager first. if that doesn't help, you can try the latest nforce drivers.

here's the nforce driver download page.

once the drivers unpack and start to install, you can cancel it out and locate the ethernet drivers in the folder.

i don't know if that is where you issue is though. it's worth a try if it annoys you.

maybe someone has also had the problem and has the exact answer.
