DAMMMMMMMMMIT! - onca - 08-30-2006
Looks like the onboard LAN on my PC has karked it. Consequently I can't come over to play Disco till I get it fixed :(
I dunno whether its software or hardware.... tried reinstalling drivers with no luck. I have a number of options:
1) Buy a new M/B or NIC and install it;
2) Reinstall Win and hope the problem goes away;
3) Both
So how am I typing here you ask? I'm using Mrs.Onca's PC, which unfortunately is waaaaay too slow to run F/L.
I suppose your next question is, why don't I pinch the NIC out of this PC and put it into my PC, so I can play Disco again? Ha ha, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. (The missus loves playing those awful MSN zone games, so not an option if I wanna live :P ).
See ya's soon hopefully......

Thanks McNeo.... yeah tried all that stuff. But I can't reinstall the hardware, because network function is onto the motherboard itself.
I can run the internet thru the Missus' PC, in fact I'm doing that right now. I just can't run F/L thru it.... too slow.
oh well :unsure:

Install a new NIC then. Those are not expensive. In fact, i think they are the cheapest hardware around..
Here, a NIC is sold for around U$S 4. Those might be cheaper there...

Yeah that was gonna be my next move.
But its ok now.... I uninstalled driver, rebooted and disabled the onboard LAN in BIOS, restarted windows (of course), let in get itself straightened out, rebooted again, turned LAN back on, restarted Windows and installed driver.
Works!!! Hooray :D
So the driver got corrupted somehow, thank goodness.... and Windows wouldn't get rid of the driver entirely until the LAN was disabled in BIOS. Ahhh ya gotta love Windows. :wacko: :wacko:
Cheers everyone,
