| 705290 | 2008-09-15 04:44:00 | Hi all, thought some of the advance users might like to try resolve this one, I have come to a brick wall... Okay, to start...about 3 wks after sp3 released, i installed on my pc (stupid as this has all my management software on). I didnt have any issues with install, booted okay, BUT, i could login to our network (win2003 domain..). I logged into local workstation and did some connectivity tests and find that I was lossing half my pings.??? Vhecked drivers etc to no avail, uninstalled sp3, re-installed sp2, still no go with the onboard NIC (NV). So thru in a PCI NIC and all good. Resolved not to install sp3 again until i found out the issue. today, i tried again, against my better judgement even though sp3 in fine on the home pc, no connectivity issues period. Anyway, today after sp3 install, same problem, both NIC's losing half the pings! So, another re-build to sp2, as un-install didnt help and no restote point before SP3!! Would you believe it, still connectivity issues?!!! Thru in a 3rd NIC and away we go! Now our domain is also a WAN, and 1 of the other IT managers has sp3 on his LAN sweet as, so cant be a DHCP server issue, they are on same network and have the same settings thereabouts, so......what is SP3 doing to my hardware...LOL, as if software could do anything to the hardware, thats what i dont understand.... Anyway, your ideas would be appreciated, i have run out of them.... Oh, its a Asus A8N5X mobo with x2 939 cpu..... |

| 705292 | 2008-09-15 05:43:00 | Don't know if this is the same issue, but I have had around 45% of PC's that have connection issues, limited or No connectivity after installing SP3 - all connections worked fine Pryor to the update. I run Dia -A - Fix (www.softpedia.com) through - reboot and each and every time its fixed it. |

| 705293 | 2008-09-15 05:50:00 | Hey Sol I had the very same problem with two machines that had exactly the same hardware. (mobo, cpu, ram etc all the same) The only difference was one had XP Home and the other had Pro. The one with XP home had the same problems as you. Network access was soooo slow and doing a ping would result in some lost packets. Putting a seperate PCI network card in the machine would fix it with SP3 but I didn't want to do that. In the end I left SP3 off it as I could not find a fix. I tried wainuitech's fix as well but it made no difference. |

| 705294 | 2008-09-15 05:50:00 | Is version 0902 of the BIOS on this system?? Because according to the ASUS site 1- Fixed RIS failed with NV onboard LAN due to IRQ conflict. (could this be your prob)? 2- Fixed system hangs on POST while installing some PCI-E x16 VGA cards. 3- Update AWDFLASH to V1.17 |

Did you get sp3 running on the pc with the new NIC Did the same NIC run okay after a rebuild? |

| 705298 | 2008-09-15 06:03:00 | Thing is, i couldnt leave the pc build as is, i could of imaged it i suppose on hindsight (bugger...again), anyway, wiped it for the rebuild...thats why i couldnt understand the nic still not working correctly.....i havent got the sp3 build anymore, so i guess i wont know........ I may have to image to the other drive and try sp3 again....hehe... |
