Whenever I set my FSB higher than 100mhz the NIC doesn't work right and I can only get a limited internet connection? Can I download a fix for this or do I need a new NIC. I have a realtek 8139A NIC and an EPOX 8k7a with an Athlon 1.33.

Thanks
Jason

Do you have the motherboard jumper for FSB speed set for 100 instead of 133? That is what it sounds like.....

Good call MichaelD. jm0ut, if you switch the FSB from 100 to 133 MHz on the motherboard, then the PCI slots should be kept at their stock 33 MHz speed and your NIC should run fine.
