what chipset do you have? noforce 2 needs 3.xx version an up, maybe 2.xx, nforce 3 needs the 4.xx version and up, and nforce 4 need 5.xx, so if your running some with nforce 4, it would seem your screwed for better drivers

if you goto download drivers on the homepage of nvidia.com and goto download drivers hit motherboard and unified driver package itll say supported mobos:
nforce
nforce2
nforce3
nforce4
nforce7428346725823

everything but the last one :P

yeah, but what i meant was, if you want to use older drivers, you can only go back so far, nforce4 wont work with 4.xx ver drivers

It was unified driver................... support all nVidia chipset........
Anyway, go to nvidia network access manager and try tweaking it from there............ set the network capacity to CPU or throughoutput............ you'll find it inside the network access manager :p

Err....... you can access it in your start menu>NVIDIA Corporation>Network Access Manager, then execute the "web-based Interface"
All depends on where you install the nVidia nforce system drivers.........

lol i dont have that, only have nvmixer

is there another driver or someting i can use, this one really blows

what nforce chipset do you have on your mobo, i think the network access manager only applies to nforce3 and up

really? silly me then :D
i think the network access manager will work if you use the integrated nForce network controller.................

There are 6.xx's out now but it is still considered beta. If you want to check them out here they are. http://www.station-drivers.com/page/nvidia%20nforce.htm

im using an nf7-s as well and i dont have the network access manager. like i said, i thinks its for nf3 and up, for the built in firewall and stuff (is the firewall part of the nic)

yeah you can get the built in one thru

my computer > change a setting > network and poop > network connections

then click on your connections properties and click configure

what would be the best setup...
network address: not present or you can enter one in
optimize for: (cpu/throughput) its set to cpu
speed/duplex settings: (full autonegotiation, force 100 half duplex, force 100 full duplex, force 10 half duplex, force 10 full duplex, autonegotiate for 10HD, then the same thing with 10FD, 100HD, 100FD

wtf does that all mean lol

and then theres
wake onLAN from poweroff enabled

what does that all mean? lol

Why dont you set the Speed/Duplex Setting to Full Autonegotiation, Enabled the Flow Control, Enabled the Checksum Offload, and try optimize it for throughoutput..............
Try it and see what happened.............:D
