On board ethernet connect/disconnect

[Ayman Altounji]

I have installed Windows 2000 onto the 1600 and also SP1, but I still get problems with the on board network card, it keeps disconnectting and filling the event log up with messages.

I have tried the lastest drivers and the problem persists, I have even changed the hub to a switch to make sure it wasnt that.

I have also installed a compaq nic into the box just to prove it and that worked fine, but I need to use the on board as irq's are scarce in the cage and adding another card should not be the answer

Did you get this working? If you did please post the solution since i have exactly the same problem with some of our 1600. The "funny" thing is that we have 5 exactly identical computers and only 2 is having this problem. We didn?t have this problem with NT4 it appeared when we installed W2K. The servers are E34 (PII 300) with W2K spack1 and smartstart 4.80.
