    Poor Network Performance

    The PCI NIC is BCM5705KFB I'm guessing it doesn't support jumbo frames or a MTU greater than 1500.. can't get ifconfig to work properly. :mad:

    What were the MTU values that you used?

    Poor Network Performance

    Apparently with the tg3 driver (the PCI NIC I installed), it won't let you disable auto-negotiation AND set it to 1000FD at the same time. :mad:

    vista file transfer

    Oh, I've also tried both the MS supplied nForce drivers as well as the official nVidia release. It made no difference.. :confused:

    I'd like some emergency help

    Copy the file from your floppy disk to the desktop of the Windows 98 machine and then attempt to deflate/decompress it. It looks as though it's trying to decompress that file on the floppy disk itself and there's not enough room.

    vista file transfer

    I logged on here to try and figure out why Vista's networking sucks so much. I'm currently uploading at 280KB/s on a Gigabit network. :confused: I have an AMD 64 X2 4200+, 2GB PC3200, Asus A8N-E (connected at 1Gigabit according to Vista's network Status information), dual SATA-300 160GB HDDs...

    No video output?

    I have this older eMachine that someone dumped on me because they couldn't get it to work. It's a T2460. It's not a -bad- machine really... Anyway, it powers up.. doesn't BEEP/POST and has no video output. I've tried reseating the RAM, resetting the CMOS and checking jumpers and I can't find...

    Operating System Not Found

    Ahhh... hmm. Well, it is working now. :) In my opinion, I think the IDE controller was screwed and somehow the CMOS reset allowed it to work again. It was weird that it'd format.. partition... copy over the base system and then not boot. Heck, using the Ultimate Boot CD it didn't even...
