When i got home form work, one of my crunchers was 'frozen'. I rebooted the machine and all was normal, except my internet connection wouldn't work. Tried resetting the modem, checking cables etc. I went into the modem and that particular machine doesn't show up like it used to. I tried the release/renew, flushdns, checked the hosts file, etc. I then reinstalled the ethernet drivers, not working. I tried the cable from that machine to a different machine and it worked, so rules out the cable itself. I tried a 'good' port from the modem to the bad machine and nothing. I tried the other ehternet port on the MB. I made sure both are on in BIOS. :shrug:

The board is an evga 680i, Q6600, some crap video card, XP Pro Any ideas what could be wrong? Windows? MB? All my programs and data seem to be working fine. Any help will be appreciated.

The worst part of this is that I have 8 completed WU's all at 4hrs + :mad:
and can't upload them!

Have you got a pci nic card that you can try?
Thats all I can think to try..

Is your PCI-E clock above stock? My Nic craps out at ~120 on my P5K. The fact that neither works would point to a software problem to me but I can't come up with anything specific besides PCI-E bus.

I seem to recall there was some quirks in the old "AR" version board. What version and bios are you running? You definitely do not want to install "NAM""when you install drivers. I never heard of that ever working right....

I run 4 680i boards, 2 full version, and 2 "LT" versions. They have been solid.

Hope this helps some,
Bob

Thanks for the suggestions..sadly though, I am 99.9% sure that the board is at fault. I have it going wireless for now and will start an RMA.

Not sure whether this article will help, but in my travels across the interweb I came across this. I thought of your post when I read it. Particularly when they mentioned winsock.

There may be something of interest there....
maybe.
