my onboard internet wont work

[985323]

the onboard internet port of my new nforce 680i LT motherboard lights up but i dont get a connection, im using an Old internet card right now for internet

All advice is appreciated

[985323]

i dont know what to do plus windows troubleshooter doesnt help at all

[nevermind1534]

There's no conflicts? Allso, check the female plug on the motherboard, to see if any pins are messed up. Probably not, but you never know.

[985323]

ok i checked, theres nothing wrong with the plug, i dont understand its a brand new motherboard

[nevermind1534]

The people working in the sweatshop in china must have messed up on something, I guess.

[985323]

lol maybe maybe not when i plug in the cable the orange light does come on but nothing else happens

[nevermind1534]

Did you try manually setting the IP address?

[985323]

im not sure how to do that, im still new at this

[nevermind1534]

Maybe I can explain the process tomorrow. Right now, I have to go to bed. It takes a while to figure out on your own.

ok thank you for your help

First, in the router's settings, get the two DNS servers

then the router's IP address and subnet mask

Then go to your connections

And go into properties for the onboard LAN

Then the properties for Internet Protocol (Tcp/IP)

Then, last, enter the settings

Enter the settings that you got. The default gateway is your router's IP address, and for you computer's IP, enter the same IP that you entered for default gateway, but change the numbers after the last "." It can be 1-3 digits, I would reccommend 3. It can be anything 1-255, except for the last number of the router's IP.

Hope that helped.

Are you running xp or vista?

[985323]

im running Xp home edition

[985323]

actually nevermind, last night around 1:30 am my cpu coolers fan stopped running so i shut it down, now it wont even start up, might have fried the cpu

It might not be enabled in the Bios check the Advanced Features area for the Ethernet options.

Uninstall the drivers, and use the disc provided with your motherboard to reinstall them rather than letting windows try to find them.

[nevermind1534]

Or the motherboard could have fried, with the onboard ethernet not working as a warning. Did you try removing the battery, and putting it back in after a few minutes yet?

[985323]

i am most likely not goin to need this thread anymore as last night my motherboard basically stopped working and i might have fried my processor, i have talked to the guys a xfx and they are goin to send me a replacement board, hopefully this new board will not have the same problems. I am postind this thanks to my old generic costco computer.
