NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
Hiya,
I have just bought a compaq Presario F504EU... and it seems to run fine with Vista (came pre-installed). The main problem I am having is with the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, in that it randomly stops working. Nvidia don't want to know, Compaq online realtime tech support didnt help (they gave me wireless info for XP!!) and im not paying £40 for microsoft help (apparently my product ID isn't valid!). I'm fine, surfing away on the net, then all of a sudden theres 'limited connectivity' and I can't do anything. Windows diagnose doesn't help and when I try disabling and re-enabling the networking controller in device manager it freezes. I've downloaded and installed multiple 'fixes' thrown at me by forums, including a genuine windows update for the networking controller, but STILL experience this problem. Its not an ISP or cable problem as they've been checked and/or replaced... I have vista home premium 32-bit btw... (and I'm talking LAN not WAN) I would really appreciate if someone could help, its really frustrating... Thanks |

Thanks The nVidia NIC on my motherboard was doing this when copying files across my LAN and for me to resolve it I had to unbind IPV6, and then disable 'Large Send Offload version ...' and TCP Checksum Offload from the NIC. Control Panel Network and Sharing Centre Manage Connections Right click your connection Properties and then uncheck TCP/IPv6 Configure Advanced uncheck the Large Send Offload and the TCP Checksum Offload You might also want to put your NIC onto the correct duplex settings rather than leaving it on Auto Negotiation If that doesn't work then I don't know what the problem with your NIC is but since changing those settings I have been able to copy files without the connection dying on me. hth |
