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.
yeah, i sorta figured it out after a while. i also found a 16 page topic on the nzone forums thats helped a bit too.
