NIC card problems

UHm yeah, I've been having problems with roadrunner lately and I've decided that it's prolly the NIC card rather than RR or the modem. Basically the connection is on and off, and they just replaced the modem literally 2-3 days ago. If you reset the modem it's good for a while but then it starts doing it again .

So is there a way to check my NIC card, or does it sound like the NIC card could be the problem?

roadrunner does that to me every once and a while

This is like everyday constantly tho, been like that for a week or more, then RR replaced the modem and it still does the same thing

What NIC do you have?

it can also be the run to your house. can you check your signals with your modem?

10100 RealTek? I think...

And no idea about the signal checking business

what's the modem brand and model #? I'll check to see if it has a diagnostic page

I doubt its a problem with the modem... but I'll look later and edit

is it packet loss or what

i'm talking about the actual quality of the signal coming into the house

OK, thought you might have a Netgear FA311. They had bad driver issues.

The modem/router is a netgear cg814WG v2

serial is cg29155af006366

I'm hopin the model number is in there somewhere.

No dice?

try 192.168.100.1

i can't find much about that gateway

So none of oyu know of a way to test my ethernet card?

I've been having a similar problem as well. At first I thought it was the wireless connection that was fucking up, but I checked that to make sure it was fine--and it was. Sometimes I'll catch the modem losing connection. It didn't use to do that before! I hope these InsightBB fuckers fix that shit soon.

P.S. Sorry for the fucking prophanity.

I've been going through similar issues. Turns out its a driver issue with Marvell NICs. It was introduced in a recent driver release and guess what, they don't have old drivers on their website! Someone on a usenet contacted the company and they emailed him the older drivers, and now I'm trying to get him to send them to me.

try another nic maybe?

nic's are pretty cheap.

It's weird, while my computer is currently dead (formatted, getting XP pro), the connection on the main computer is fine...

It seems like my torrents / constant downloading makes my router poop itself. I don't know why, but whenever I have a download running for more than like 30 minutes or too many torrents running it starts acting up again. Humph.

So when I just leave it be and lay off the excessive downloading it seems to work peachy.

Upgrade the firmware on the router - mine used to do the same thing from too many connections and now it's fine.

How does one do this moonman nonsense.

I also stopped downloading and it did the same thing, so I turned on encryption (I dont know why the hell it was off) and it seems to be working better... *internet explodes*
