Having trouble installing network on this mobo

I figured out what the problem was. It wasn't the software or the drivers -- it was the cabling setup. :o The guy who set up the connection in the warehouse didn't have a cable that was long enough to reach my station, so he used one of those single-port boxes (these things) to connect two...

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

I get lights on the hub, but not from the onboard network port.

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

I highly doubt its bad cabling/bad hub; I've been using this connection w/the same hub and cables before I was using this MSI board, and it's never given me problems. I just tried to bring the computer to my desk and use the connection here in the office, and it's still not working. I'm...

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

I'm installing the hardware in the warehouse and I convinced them to give me an internet connection back there. By that, we plugged in a hub to someone else's connection and ran a cable to my station :o I've thought it might be the cables too, but they're good... I've tested them with other...

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

I think I saw it in the BIOS somewhere, I'll turn it off and see if that works. On another thought, the old ASUS board used Gigabit onboard LAN, but this MSI uses onboard Realtek. Don't know if that would make a difference or not, I was thinking as long as the proper drivers are loaded it...

It's not a driver problem... everything is functional in Device Manager w/no conflicts.

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

1) Yes, it is onboard LAN. 2) Yes it is, already thought of that and triple-checked it. 3) Yep.. chipset drivers first, then rebooted, then loaded LAN driver. But like I said before, w/the MSI board, on the first boot into windows (before I even had a chance to load chipset drivers), the...

Having trouble installing network on this mobo

Hi guys, I need some help once again. I recently purchased an MSI Neo2-V because our old s478 board is discontinued. Main reason I got this one is because is has the same chipset (north&south), plus it was only one of two available from NewEgg. Anyway... So I put the bad boy together and...

What are those slot covers called?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I was thinking like at the most 10 cents for one, like a buck for a 10-pack. It's because the cases we use here at work aren't your typical PC case -- we had the engineering team design one out of sheet metal. I'm the lucky one who gets to take like 3 pieces of...

You guys know those little metal slot/tab things that come w/most cases that cover the holes for the PCI slots? Whenever you install a PCI card you have to remove the little slot cover so you can get to it... bah, you guys know what I mean, right? What are they called? And can you buy them...

Changing CD Key in XP SP2

I didn't know about sysprep :brokenheart: Been reading the info from MS help site, I'm still a little confused about sysprep... do I have to create the .INF file or can I not and just answer everything each time? Also Canterwood, I don't think we have VL keys, I think they're all OEMs (I...

Trying to Ghost a hard drive

I didn't know there were such things :o But I don't think the ones we have are VL keys. The last batch of CDs/keys I got came in like a 20-pack, and they all say OEM and have the OEM sticker. From what I understand, the original ghost was created from a SP1 OEM install, and I never had...

Changing CD Key in XP SP2

Just found out from co-worker, that when he made the original image, he didn't install the sound drivers. In fact the onboard sound was disabled from the BIOS. After the images were done and everything was working fine and dandy, one of the other programmers came up with a need to use the sound...
