| 358702 | 2005-05-26 08:04:00 | Hello !!! I have some problems with my network adapter I have instaled Suse 9,3 in my computer near Win Xp Proff SP2. The network worked just fine in suse but in windows it shows me "Network cable unplugged". I have formated all hard disk's but after i've installed win xp(and the drivers for network) the problem remaind the same. I've tried with another cable, another switch but the problem still remained the same. Why under linux works fine and in xp is not working. The network card si onboard(Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet adapter), and the mother board is ASUS P4P800) What can i do? Can anybody help me? I feel i'm gonna get crazy! :( PS The network card is set Enabled in Bios |

| 358703 | 2005-05-26 08:12:00 | I have the same mobo. I think u have the P4P800 SE mobo. This has the marvell NIC. The P4P800 uses a 3com NIC. Did u put the ip address etc, under the LAN properties?? in XP?? What does device manager in XP say?? The name of the network card? or an X? or ? And whatever XP is networked to, has it got the same workgroup name? |

| 358704 | 2005-05-26 08:29:00 | It does'n need ip in my network, it has been worked in automatic mode since a have the computer. The device manager sees my network card, and the drivers are installing succesfully. How did you resolved your problem? PS Thanks for helping me! |

| 358705 | 2005-05-26 08:35:00 | Well it might work in automatic mode, but sometimes the ip addresses change, (if u reboot, - if u use all of these PC's on the net as well) and it'll lose connection with whatever its networked to. Change it to use the following ip address, and enter an ip address in it, and make sure the workgroup is the same name, as the other pcs on the network. Are there any firewalls installed? |

| 358706 | 2005-05-26 08:42:00 | There is no firewall, i'll try when i'll go home to enter the ip and see the workgrup because now i'm at the work. I 'll give you news about it man! Thanks for help! |

| 358707 | 2005-05-26 08:50:00 | No worries . How many PC's are connected to XP?? Are in the network? And are all sharing files, and on the net?? And what PC is the main PC? Windows XP? Linux? |

| 358708 | 2005-05-26 09:00:00 | 300 PC's are in network and by this network cames the internet too. There aren't with sharing files, we use DC++. I'm shure that the server is in linux . I'm thinking to test the network with another hard disk, i don't kow. |

| 358709 | 2005-05-27 06:16:00 | It is showing the "network cable unplugged" . That means that the Windows system "knows" this . So it won't do anything . Changing the IP address won't help . "Testing the network with another disk" won't help . Why not look at simple things first? The network interface works . The cable works . The switch works . The netwrok works . It's the Windows OS on this computer which isn't workiing . Try loading the motherboard drivers . They are needed to make the devioces on the motherboard work with Windows . Linux probably doesn't need them It works . ;) |
