Nvidia Network Controller
Hi,
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI MB with an onboard Nvidia Network controller. The upgrade to Vista (clean install) has not been exactly smooth but it seems to be working OK now and I think I have all the latest drivers. However, in about 1 out of 5 occasions when I boot up I have no network connection. I have a 3Com wireless ADSL router and the PC is hard wired with a fixed IP address. When I check the network properties it has dropped the gateway, 192.168.1.1, the entry is blank. If I try to insert this again it seems to accept it but when I look at the properties again it is still blank. All the others details are there OK. If I reboot it usually comes back but it can take two or even three reboots to work and then it is fine again for a few more days. My system runs Vista Business, AMD dual processor, 2 x SATA drives, 2GB memory. I would stick in a network card but I have used all my available slots. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Rutetuti,
The address 192.168.1.1 seems to be the default gateway. In that case, just set your Properties to obtain address automatically. See whether that works. If not, then perhaps something else can be worked out. In addition, this may not be a Vista issue, but rather settings involved with your Internet connections. --- freddy "Rutetuti" wrote: Hi, I have an ASUS A8N-SLI MB with an onboard Nvidia Network controller.

Hi:
I have read in many places that not all existing Routers get along fine with Vista, on account of a different implementation of an existing protocol or the existence of a new one. Check your router manufacturer site for a firmware upgrade or the faq section. You might also try unchecking the IPv6 protocol in your network properties and see if that fixes your problems.

Freddy,
I think it is a Vista issue, it seems to me that it is the OS that "forgets" the gateway settings. I don't see how it can be drivers or router related. I thought about using DHCP but this seems to be quite a fundamental problem that I thought I would try this forum for a solution. Thanks "freddy" wrote in message ...

Thanks Carlos,
I have unticked IPv6 protocol and I will see if that makes any difference over the next few days. "Carlos" wrote in message ...

Rutetuti,
Nowhere did I say your problem is "drivers or router related." I said, "this may not be a Vista issue, but rather settings involved with your Internet connections." Changing settings in the Properties of your Local Area Connection, such as unchecking TCP/IPv6, is a setting involved with your Internet connections. Changing those, and any other settings involved with Internet connections, is not a Vista issue. It's a configuration issue. Anyway, I was only making a suggestion, to try obtaining address automatically, but I suppose it means nothing. -- freddy "Rutetuti" wrote: Freddy, I think it is a Vista issue, it seems to me that it is the OS that "forgets" the gateway settings.

192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the router itself.
When your network is working go to run and run ipconfig /all you will find all of your current settings. I suggest that you change from fixed IP to DHCP and let the router set your IP and DNS addresses that way the DNS addresses will be the latest that the router gets from the DSL modem.
