network problems

playahata123789 · 27th Sep 2007, 10:30 AM

im on a school network, and sometimes my connection will just crap out on me. i have the nf-m2 nview mobo with latest drivers for the onboard ethernet controller. It can work just fine, but if it does die on me, i have to do a hard reset inorder to remedy the problem.

when it is working, i can go to hardware manager, and it'll say "this device is working properly"
when it does die, then it'll say "there are no drivers installed for this device"

any help/suggestions?

Well, it sounds like the network controller isn't too stable. Have you tried fixing the transfer mode from Auto to 100Mbps Duplex? Also, you should try disabling its power saving mode.

like adrian said, disable power saving features.
