SOunds to me like you have it in the promise controller connector if you cdrom is the primary IDE then your h/d cannot be in there. What I have done for both my a7v and a7v133 installs is to plug it into the primary ide drive likely where your cd is currently plugged into and then either move...

hey I saw your post in my other thread...the story behind this a7v133 is a long one but suffice it to say that a couple of things changed at once and then CS started behaving badly. The nic, modem and h/s fan changed more or less at once prior to that it seemed to be working ok as far as CS...

I agree...Soldier of Fortune hangs etc...time for some more cooling...I'm gonna try running with the case open and see if that helps...FP

I got a similar post running...when you put in the 1.2...did it detect it as a 133FSB CPU assuming that is the kind of Athlon you purchased? I as well am beginning to think that this is a cooling issue. My A&V with a 1G tbird runs fine nad its temp is around 52-53...my 1.2 is showing temps...

Pull off the heatsink and fan!! I tried to do that once and managed to bust the fan (I'm a clumsy oaf that way)..Are you saying that noramlly the a7v133 will not recognize the 133 Athlons on its own? I was hoping that was the bios's job...rats

I'm a little confused. I bought an a7v133 and what I though was a tbird1.2. I had the place where I bought the two mount the cpu to the board and then I took it home. It booted fine but came up as am athlon 900. So I went into the BIOS and selected user and set it to 133 to get the 1.2. The...

Well they are all set to auto as far as I can tell on the various boxes. Also I should be using IPX for file sharing and not TCP/IP although they are both bound to file sharing. My understanding is IPX should be used if I did not make TCP the default protocol. FP

You have to make sure under the IPX Protocol properties that its Bindings are to the print and file sharing...I don't have netbios ticked off but I also have TCP/IP asociated with the ethernet adaptor as well. IPX will be the default unless you set the TCP/IP properties to make it the default...

reset the hub? Well its been powered off and on. I don't see any reset button just switch that says NORMAL/CASCADE which I suppose you switch it to if the last port is used to plug into another hub/switch. Well, I guess I'll have to scrape up the money for the 8 port switch...thanks

Hi Spidey07, Thanks for the reply. Yes your first statements are correct. I'll give you a bot more background that I didn't include at first because I felt it would make the post too long. Until about 2 weeks ago my setup was this: linux box (realtek nic), w98se (smc), w95 (intel) and w98...

Hi all, This is a strange one. I have a Surecom 508T hub 10Tbase hub which has 8 ports. Until recently, I had only 4 computers hooked up to the hub at any one time. These included 1 Linux box acting as a DHCP server (an eventually a router for high speed access) plus 3 W98SE machines. I...

Thanks a bunch. I looked in the manual before and tried to make some sense of that chart but everything looked shared to me. Anyways while I was waiting for posts to come back I plunked the nic into slot5 moved teh sb back to slot three and then the modem in slot 1 and everything worked just...

Please help...I just installed a A7V with Tbird 1ghz I have a sblive value, aopen modem, asus v6800 ddr, and I have tried 3 nics 3com 905c, SMC 1211 and realtek 8139 and things are just not working out. Meaning my other two computers on the lan canot see the new machine. Sometimes the A7V can...
