spacemunk Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 just checked event viewer and this was the error i got when the NIC decides to drop thew connection : Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet: The network link is down. Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected. Impossible since i just changed every part in my pc brand new. New motherboard , new modem , new router , new cables.

Dork Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 just checked event viewer and this was the error i got when the NIC decides to drop thew connection : Broadcom NetLink ™ Gigabit Ethernet: The network link is down. Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected. Impossible since i just changed every part in my pc brand new. New motherboard , new modem , new router , new cables. Have you tried swapping the LAN cable? They can be dodgy even if new and appearing to work ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected. Impossible since i just changed every part in my pc brand new. New motherboard , new modem , new router , new cables. This seems to be something like what I was experiencing in earlier 'Router' threads. A component isn't communicating properly. Since you have 'just changed every part in your PC to brand new; New motherboard, new modem, new router, new cables', I would revisit and check each box in your computer's Internet Options and Network settings - that was where my hangup was.

Everything looks fine in the network and internet settings Since you mentioned previously that there is an event error generated by the Broadcom adaptor then it can't be a TCP/IP configuration problem - it's lower level than that. I think it can only be either hardware or the Broadcom driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can only be either hardware or the Broadcom driver. i've pinpointed it to either be the driver or the motherboard NIC which has gone bad. cause i've troubleshooted everything else with new modems , routers and cables and still get the same problem. Only way around this might be to go and buy an intel network card and see if it happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunk Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 ok finally got it working properly. booted the pc from 7am and until now 10hrs no disconnects. source of the problem bad LAN driver from ASrock website.

That's one thing I do know about oh so well! Like I always say, "A man's gotta' do what a man's gotta' do!" How I do remember those cool AsRock motherboards, especially their first hit '939' board! - yet here we both are with our extra brand new Asus DSL-n55u routers!

My main squeeze is still running an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 socket 940 and I love it. I'm an AMD Phenom quad core fan from way back. Once I get 100% stability and a nice image of my %system% drive, I become the old dog who doesn't want new tricks. Or, I'm too lazy to upgrade.

I'm still running the 939 socket Abit AV8 board in my desktop and have backup AV8 motherboards and Cosair memory and extra AMD CPUs, too, for the long haul ..... 'change'?? What 'change'? By the way, how do you store, access and make use of an image file on the %System% drive? Edited December 1, 2012 by luwahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
