Odd thing when I went back to a 1700 Linked and Synced at CAS7 (24/7 settings), NICs won't grab a DHCP address and won't communicate when I manually set an IP on my network. I tried uninstalling the devices, but that didn't seem to work either...checked for corruption, none found.

Anyone else had any problems with the NICs (nForce 9.64 drivers) not working?
YES..I have had the strangest issues with the nic's when overclocking. Currently I'm using 9.64 for everything except the nic's, 15.17 for just the nic's themselves. This setup has been working well for me, one thing I do now when I'm trying higher overclocks is to disable the nic's in the bios first. If OC passes memtest re-enable before going into Vista.

Other thoughts...
You may have a corrupt nic driver, the install and uninstall does not always work correctly, if you run the nvidia control panel and the networking tree is not there your driver is corrupt. Uninstall reinstall.

Also try going into your router and releasing the address, power off router and then back on, this helped me a few times. The whole teaming virtual driver thing is finicky for sure. I use VNC to remote access my computer so I have to keep an eye on the IP the virtual driver is using, it can't change or VNC has to be reconfigured, you'd be surprised how many times it's gone and switched from using a combined single IP to 2 seperate ips. No idea why.
