Same circumstances with me, more or less. I was suprised to learn that upon installing the XP Home Upgrade over the illegitimate XP Pro Corp, that proving my upgrade path never came up. I kept waiting.. worrying that my old 98 CD might not be recognized.. But it never happened. So, those who...

I was unaware that a reinstall of windows XP over a previous version would delete data files in the My Documents folders. In the event you are right about that, why not use a boot disk, then copy all needed files to another folder. Then proceed with an install over the previous one. I've...

I don't think you're going to get a definitive answer. IMO, you'll have to troubleshoot your own system and learn to do some things you might haven't previously attempted. Something in the load process is causing your problems. Since you mentioned the router, I would first disconnect all...

I overclocked a Pentium from 75mhz to 100mhz which was a very popular overclock in that time. I think I had to move jumpers to change the FSB..

The majority of those posters just want some stroking.. as if the online community is going to rally and cheer their build choices.. "Dude, that is the most awesome computer anybody has ever built.. how did you think of that"?

Just go to Monarch Computers.. They can put together a gaming computer, a bargain computer.. whatever you want.

That's right.. Send one stick, get one stick in return.

Yes, definitely.. and don't let them mickey-mouse you.. You are entitled to a matched pair.. that's what you paid for. If it's Corsair, you shouldnt have any problems.

Actually, you didn't pay real good attention to the thread. I only attempted to use the older ethernet card in place of the onboard NIC.. I have NEVER had both the onboard NIC (without disabling in the Bios) and the Add-in card installed together. Further, my software is not a mess. I pride...

That figures.. A dummy like me being advised by a tech who doesn't know what he is talking about... Maybe I will cancel.. try to get another tech next week.

Unbelievable..

I've not fixed my problem but I just talked to the SBC tech confirming our appointment. When I told him of my new build, new NIC, etc.. he suggested that I go into the advanced configuration of my NIC in device manager, and drop my link speed to 10-Half Mode... He says more than half of the...

Yes, but Im not using the router in my current setup.. I'll get to that later. The problem is the sync or lack of it.. Without that, I can't get any further. I wonder why RasPPOE or the old SBC software can't see my onboard nic... It's installed. Device manager notes no problems.. and the...

Yeah.. it's been done a couple times now. SBC had me power everything down, take all the wires off.. and hook it back up. Flashing light. No sync.. Even as a novice, it seems my problem is with the wiring, modem, or onboard nic. I'm just concerned the SBC guy is going to tell me just what you...

Thanks for responding.. The router is not presently in the setup. Its just modem to computer. I havent actually installed any software.. It can't be installed properly as it doesn't see a NIC to attach itself to.. I tried alot of things... as people do who don't know what they are really doing...
