| 737078 | 2009-01-10 20:12:00 | What firewall just the Vista one or an after market one? When I rebuilt this one the Atheros NIC on the new Asus mobo wouldn't work with Comodo | gary67 (56) | ||

| 737080 | 2009-01-10 20:17:00 | Well first you have to install the NIC drivers. Did you do this? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 737083 | 2009-01-10 20:37:00 | I have downloaded the NIC driver and is currently re-starting, cross fingers! | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 737084 | 2009-01-10 20:39:00 | Nah still nothing....any other idea's?? | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 737085 | 2009-01-10 20:40:00 | Well thats the first thing you HAVE to do. After you reformat, install the chipset drivers, NIC / Sound / whatever No NIC drivers you go nowhere. Go into the NIC's properties / TCP / IP give it an IP, and the gateway the ip of the router. If you have one. Then put in your ISP's DNS server ips under it. I dont know where this is in Vista Did you get the NIC drivers from the mobo manufacturer's site. Not from any site?? |

| 737086 | 2009-01-10 22:49:00 | Ah, the joys of Windows Vista's 'new stream lined network set-up page’. To get to the network settings page: Open control panel (Hit the classic view button, makes it a lot easier) Click the network and sharing icon. On this page there is a panel on the left hand side, click the "Manage network Connections" link, and here’s the network setting page, just like in XP :illogical |
