Anyone having network issues in 5474.5?

[Grope for Luna]

I can't get any network access with this build. I'm using the built in NIC on my ASRock 939Dual which has worked fine in previous builds. The drivers appear to install fine but I can't get access with DHCP or manual address assignment. :no:

Event log's not much good:

Warning 7/22/2006 9:28:27 AM Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Client 1006 None Your computer was unable to automatically configure the IP parameters for the Network Card with the network address 00138F7C0A44. The following error occurred during configuration: The operation completed successfully..

:rolleyes: :rofl:

With the exception of a wireless pc card in my laptop, all my networking came up flawlessly OOTB.

Hate to suggest what I'm sure you already tried, but you checked your cable? Hub/switch/router?

Remove the onboard nic in device manager and let it reinstall itself after a reboot.

If you have a spare nic laying around, I'd drop that in and see if that picks up correctly.

They rewrote the network...so it's not gonna work with some routers/cable modems. Nothing wrong is with the setup...You might try update your router or cable modem firmware.

I have the testing machine with the same board...and network doesn't work. It worked with Beta 2 build after i updated d-link 4100 router firmware to the latest version 1.6. Now with 5472 build doesn't work again. This is beta 2 stage, and i hope after they're done all the routers will be supported etc...

I have a feeling that Vista might be expensive upgrade...which is not worth because OS itself is not worth of anything. Too bad Microsoft won't port DX10 to Windows XP platform, which i think is a bull****... Add support for SM4.0 is not a big deal having the fact that Windows XP doesn't require any LDDM model or any additional crap to handle OS gui.

I use this with a BreezeAccess wireless "modem" so updating the firmware isn't an option ( or even possible, since it's an older series)

I do have a D-Link router I could attach though. Maybe that'll work.

it wouldnt connect the first time for me, but after rebooting both the pc and the router it worked - my router's a speedtouch btw :)

[Grope for Luna]

Hooked up my router but still no love. A couple other 939Dual users have noted the same problem so it's probably a driver issue.

I have this strange problem with my wireless card called asus wl-138 on this vista build. Well it didnt work at all on beta 2 but on this build it connects to the network but not with the internet, it says that my card does not support those needed requirements that my AP needs. It worked fine on pre beta 2 and on xp. I use xp driver. Perhaps i need to wait for a newer vista build or for asus guys to update drivers.

did you try manualy installing the 2.20 Uli drivers? my onboard Ethernet didnt work till i updated the Uli drivers

[Grope for Luna]

Latest Uli Vista drivers are 5.1.2600.0351

Latest XP drivers are 5.1.2600.0350

I've tried both by manual install.

Do you have a 939Dual?

[Matrix78]

Latest Uli Vista drivers are 5.1.2600.0351

Latest XP drivers are 5.1.2600.0350

I've tried both by manual install.

Do you have a 939Dual?

yes i have the 939Dual... but i was at 5456, i jsut installed 5474 and no more internet, had to go back to 5456.. bummer

[rishid]

Add another ot the list, I have a 939 Dual board. I am having problems connecting to my network with build 5472. Anyone have any solutions at all?

Thanks,

Rishi

[rishid]

Just another thing to add, I tried some different drivers from the nVidia website and tried it. Still no luck. Pretty sure it is a bug in Vista and nothing we can do.

[Sagittarius Veteran]

Another Asus939Dual user here, and no luck with Vista's network. OCWForums had a similiar discussion, and no one could find a solution. I suppose we'll just have to wait until a new build and see if that fixes anything.

[AQUaDeX]

For the love of god don't use 5474.5 for anything else other than installing and activation...

[rishid]

Anyone try any of the new builds with 939Dual?

Anyone try any of the new builds with 939Dual?

i'm using RC1 5600 and i can't get the lan to work :(

[rishid]

That is really sad. Was pretty excited for RC1 now if I cannot get online isn't even worth downloading.

[Grope for Luna]

Entering and exiting Sleep mode will work. Should be adequate if you don't reboot often.

what brand is your NIC?

[riffola]

I'm having trouble with my 3com nic in RC1 too. It was working flawlessly in the previous builds but now it's acting flaky, Windows Update doesn't work at all, it says there are some DNS errors now and then, sometimes it says the router is not found, and other times it sees everything.

But while all that is going on I can still connect to sites like Google. It's odd. I can't figure out what's going. I know it's not my ISP since the other computesr on my network can connect to stuff a-okay.

[Grope for Luna]

Network worked fine after first login, but as soon as I rebooted, it wouldn't work and I had to put it into sleep mode.

[richard612]

Same problem here. 939Dual and RC1. The NIC becomes "deaf" after a warm restart. It takes a full power-off at the power-supply to reset the NIC.

I've downgraded to two different XP-level drivers from ULi and the problem did not go away with either of them. So I don't think it's a driver issue.

[merk]

just chiming in with a 'me too'. I have a 939dual and have been having the same problem. seems to happen randomly...sometimes it works on boot sometimes it doesnt. Although it seems if i leave vista alone for a few minutes after it boots that it works. havent tested that enough though to be sure.

MS has confirmed this is a bug in the Uli drivers dealing with DHCP requests.

So one thing i am going to try doing on my next boot into vista is assigning a static IP to the machine. Perhaps if you avoid having any DHCP requests it'll work. I've set my router to always assign the same ip to this machine so DHCP at this point is redundant anyhow.

[Grope for Luna]

I've tried static IP and it still doesn't work.
