Hello all:

I have a Asus P4C800 -E Deluxe mobo and it has an onboard Intel R Pro
1000 NIC card (I think).

Problem is I could never get it to work with my cable modem. I
installed my old 3 comm 10/100 and I have internet access, I try to
use the Intel R Pro 1000 and although I enable it (and disable the 3
comm) and try to go through the new connection wizard it will not
connect with the internet.

Is this not a NIC card such as the 3 comm?

Thanks in advance!

Terry

MAy need its own driver what does device manager say about it? If the cable
modem doesn't talk gigabit enet then the best you'll get is whatever it
maxes out at probabley 100megs.
what are your cables are they cat5 or better? I think gigabit needs all 8
wires connected and distance is important.

Gigabit does need all 8 wires, if that's the issue be sure you don't
have a cheap CAT5 cable with only pins 1,2,3,6 populated...

It only needs all 8 wires for 1000 megabit (1 Gbit) operation. It
doesn't need all 8 for 100 mbps.

Cable and DSL modems often use only a 10mbps signaling rate. Is there a
chance that the Intel gigabit NIC is only 1000/100 mbps and is not
backwards compatible all the way to 10 mbps?

One other thought: You should not be connecting a cable modem directly
to the NIC card anyway. You should have a router, even if you are not
sharing the connection with any other computers. You really want your
computer hidden behind a router for security reasons.

Bah -- I have a two computer home network -- both connected to a switch (no
router), as I have two IP addresses from my ISP (the switch does no NAT or
any protection whatsoever). I run no firewall.

I have never gotten a worm/virus/trojan. Here's why.

I don't bind tcp/ip to microsoft file sharing/printing (I use netbeui for
communicating between the two computers -- even with XP), and I close all
unnecessary ports by shutting down dcom, etc. And I don't open any unknown
email attachments.

If you know what you are doing, you don't "need" a router or firewall. Both
my puters can be seen directly on the internet. Never had a problem.

Well, what you are doing will certainly work, but it's not a good way to
operate in the current threat environment.

The issue isn't just virus'. Your system may well be "visible" to other
people on the same local subnet. Although you have taken some of the
recommended steps to prevent unauthorized access, those steps are not
taken by default, most other users don't know either what they are or
how to take them, and in fact they are not absolutely, 100% foolproof
even when taken.

I still recommend that anyone with a broadband connection use a router
even if there is no sharing of the connection.

Sure -- that is wise advice for most computer users who, unlike me, don't
want to be bothered with the ins and outs of their operating system and
networking.

But I think it is interesting to read security forums and see how advanced
computer are so nervous, they think that running without a firewall will
instantly cause viruses/worms to infect their computers. Haven't had a
problem for years (except when installing a new computer OS and got blaster
before able to complete microsoft critical updates). Now I make sure to
download critical updates and service packs to other computer before
installing new computer OS.

Since it works on your old NIC you might want to first use the modem
connected to the old 3com NIC and do an IPconfig release then turn off the
cable modem. Once that's done take out the old 3com NIC turn on your cable
modem then connect to the inbuilt NIC on the mother board, then perform an
IPconfig renew.

This should solve your problem...

Had the same thing when swapping brothers PC for a new one.
