After I restarted my computer, the noise is still there. It is on going and goes on and off as the lan port light goes on and off. During the start up I couldn't hear the noise as it is covered by the cd-rom and hard drives spinning up. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the lan port, the...

Hi, Just recently I noticed that there is a noise that I didn't notice before coming from my computer. I don't know if it just started or have been there all the time. The strange this is that it correlates to the activity of my my onboard lan. As the orange light on the back of the lan...

thanks for the quick reply!

Hi, I have an AMD 2500XP with 512 pc2700 ram. I'm thinking about adding another 512 mb of ram but am undecided between pc2700 or pc3200 since their price difference is really negligible. I'm thing about getting the pc3200 since if I wanna upgrade later to another cpu, I'll be able to use it...

After switching to the router the network works! Thanks for all the help! I can transfer and share files with no problems now. I have a new problem though. When I try to connect my laptop with wireless 802.11b to the router (Dlink 514), I have trouble with loading some sites. It will load...

Hi, I'm sorry about the confusion. Apparently I have a switch instead of a router. The setup is exactly the same as Pakman described. I always thought that I had a router until I looked down for the model number. I didn't even know there was a difference between the two. It was something...

Hi Pakman, How do I view the IP of each computer? Sorry, if this is a stupid question. Ok, I found my IP. The IP address of the two computers are totally different except for the first two numbers. Also, the physical address for my SFF says 00-00-00-00-00-00, instead of a combination of...

Thanks for all the help guys. A very weird thing happened just a couple of hours ago. As I was starting my post at another forum while waiting for replies from this forum, I clicked on "view computers in my workgroup", and to my surprise the other computer showed up!!! So I was happy and all...

I am sure that the workgroup name is the same, I disabled the Windows XP firewall on the two computers and rebooted, but still couldn't see one another. I was just sharing a folder on each computer to test if it worked.

Hi, I have two desktops connected to an ethernet router, the router is then connected to a cable modem. Internet works fine with this setup. I ran the windows network wizard and went through the steps by answering the questions during each step. First Windows XP said something about my...

Hi, I had the exact same problem with my new setup (XP 2500+, Nforce2 MB) finished just a week ago. When I press the power button it wouldn't post although the power led is on and the fans (cpu + case) are spinning. People said it could be the RAM, power supply, or improperly seated cpu +...

Hi, Is it required to uninstall your previous nforce driver before you upgrade to the new one? I've always click on the .exe and let the computer take care of the rest but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I would get a sound card too but the board only comes with one PCI slot and I used it for a PCI ATI 9100. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with it. This is really weird though cause I don't get what could happen wrong in the assembly process of the MB that could cause this.

I would RMA it if I still can but I doubt they would let me since I bought it more than 3 months ago from newegg. The drivers does not have the ability to swap stereo channels, I would be really happy if it did.
