I'm dual booting with XP, separate drives.
Networked with a Netgear router. NIC is a Nvidia nForm Networking Controller on a K8N mobo. The RC1 set up with no problems. I didn't have to configure anything. Network shows a Residential Gateway, device is the Netgear router with a 192.168.1.1 address. Using IPv4. When I do a clean install to RC2, nothing gets configured. The only thing I can see is the NIC in the Device Mgr. Connection setup wants to give me PPoE or dialup. Checking ipconfig gives a weird ip address. Why did they take a beautiful networking setup and screw it up? I can format and reinstall RC1 and, bingo, I'm right back on line. All my drivers have been updated. Any ideas? Pete |
