Problems with P4C800E Deluxe and Gbit LAN

[ManuTOmanU]

Hi, I am having trouble with my mainboard and my onboard Intel LAN device.

Whenever I connect something to the onboard NIC, and start the computer, it takes 2 minutes after the desktop came up to access the LAN or do anything... Programs that autostart take a 2 minute break and the computer seems to do nothing... No hdd activity.

Whenever I don't have anything connected to the LAN adapter, the pc starts smooth and fast...

I installed the latest drivers from Asus and also the Intel chipset software...

Does anybody know?

Thank you...

Disable Onboard LAN Boot ROM in the BIOS.

Well, I checked th bios, and found that it is already disabled, so I enabled it, booted in windows, and had to wait even longer... I start to think that this is a software problem eiter windows or the driver...

Thanks anyway, would be nice if I could get this to work,,,

It's because it is searching for an IP address....go into the properties of the lan and give it a static IP.

I take it your not connected to the Internet through the Lan.

That is the problem, I hooked up the dsl modem to the lan port...

Well if I would use a seperate nic, would this work? Then the next time I come home, I just take a nic with me back to university...

Thanks...
