    Invalid IP address

    Now I reset the security option to WPA2-Auto with PKS. Same 13 character ascii passphrase. The laptop actually connects to the network, but there is a "limited or no connectivity" message. The reason given is there is "the network did not assign a network address to the computer." Now what?

    Invalid IP address

    Why would the laptop see it as WEP if it is actually set to WPA2 in the router?

    Invalid IP address

    My IP Address setting is set ot automatic. I went back and tried everything step by step, one at a time. I have success with the connection until I try to install WPA2 encryption. I first choose WPA2/PSK option and assign a 12 digit passphrase. I applied this setting to the router...

    I am trying to set up my first network. I have a D-Link cable modem connected to a D-Link 524 wireless router. My desktop is connected to the router and I just got a Dell 600M. I upgraded the firmware of the router, assigned a SSID, changed the channel, set the wireless protection to...

    Tunes Are Gone!!!!!!!!!!

    I found this discussion (link) which seems to be helping. The Handyrecovery 2.0 utility worked for one file (1/day with demo), but the free v1.0 did not work. I am going to try one or two of the others before purchasing the program. If anyone else has a suggestion, let me know.

    Tunes Are Gone!!!!!!!!!!

    I just removed a bunch of programs via the windows add or remove programs tool. After restarting my computer I wanted to clean out my iTunes library. Now practically every song I have is gone!! I have tried to look for them all over both hard drives with no luck. Even my puechased music...

    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra non-sli USB POST problem

    That is something that I noticed to. My rear USBs have items plugged in and no problem booting. I once had my iPod Shuffle plugged into the front port of the case, and no boot up. I think that I have been able to boot with a game pad pluuged in, so maybe it is only when the device has data in it?

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    Despite some earlier problems that I posted here (all of which were my mistakes!), I have been enjoying this mobo. I bought it with a 3700+ San Diego and it recognized it right away. It was shipped with BIOS v1.3. I would think that your Venice would register fine. Keep in mind though I am...

    I'm running XP Pro, which I would think would have the drivers. Doesn't seem to be the case for me though.

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    What USB 2.0 drivers are you using? where did you get them? If possible give me a link or file name. I just updated my BIOS to 1.4 last night and updated all of the nVidia drivers to the most recent versions. I still don't have USB 2.0 capabiltities on any of the ports. VERY frustrating.

    Will the front USB connectors on an Antec P160 match the headers on my K8N Neo4 Platinum?

    Does anyone have this combo? I do and my USB ports are working as 1.1 not 2.0! If anyone has a solution (besides cutting a wire [suggested elsewhere]) let me know.

    USB 2.0 Not Being Recognized?

    I really hate to do that. I think I'll do a little more digging, but may have to resort to snipping the wire. Anyone else have a different solution that they have used and know that it worked?

    USB 2.0 Not Being Recognized?

    What I saw in that thread was I should cut/disconnect a wire. Isn't there another way? I don't get why both MSI and Antec advertise USB 2.0, but they aren't working that way.

    USB 2.0 Not Being Recognized?

    So I tried plugging my iPod Shuffle into one of the front ports of my new computer. I got this little bubble message telling me that the device will perform better in a USB 2.0 slot. I just double checked bot MSI and Antec's sites and both indicate that my motherboard (MSI Neo4 Platinum) and...

    SATA I is also. That is what I have and I get the same message from XP

    Windows telling me to safely remove hard drive....

    Yes, SATA is hot swappable. As far as I know/have read you cannot disable that notification. Part of SATA not a lack of RAID driver.

    Better looking case than Antec P160?

    Get the same case! I just set mine up and it was easy. I like the look of it and really like the controls and connectors at the very top of the case (great for when the case is on the floor below the desk). Also, I hate swing doors that some cases (like the p180 have).

    A few n00b questions...

    1. No not unless you are going to do heavy gaming, ou you want some future proof ability (add the second card later). Also features depend on manufacturer, but the nForce Ultras have a lot of the same features as the SLI (except of course the SLI part) 2. Not sure. I went with the MSI...

    I updated my firmware (for the router) and it seems to be doing fine so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Network Connection Keeps Dropping.

    Here is what is happening. I have Comcast cable, a Toshiba modem (worked fine with previous computer), a D-Link DI-524 wireless router (although I am using it as a wired router), and the onboard ehternet (MSI Neo4 Platinum). I am running BIOS version 1.3 and loaded all the drivers that came...

    Safety Latch On Stock AMD HSF?

    This what AMD sent though. There is a latch to lock the HSF down to the mobo, but the extra latch that swings doen was not included.

    Router for New PC Build?

    thanks. 2) So if I get a wireless router becuase it is on sale, it can still function as a wired router? 3) My mobo has an on board connection, so when I build it the mobo driver will take care of that right?

    Do any motherboards bios support San Diego yet?

    That would have been good to know. However, I bought both through ZZF at separate times. Well hopefully it work. I was just reading that someone was using bios version 1.3 and it seemed to work for them.

    So its been about four years and I am finally going to be building my computer this weekend. In preparation for the build, I read through mechBgon's guide. I noticed that he suggests using a router as a firewall during the install. This brought up something that I had not thought of so I was...
