    NIC crazyiness.....

    My NIC 3COM (3c905-tx) konks out if I have full load on the CPU!?!

    I start SETI and 5-10 min later the NIC just stops recieving.....

    I lowered the PCI latency from 64 to 32 an then it performed as it should for an hour an then it just whent bananas

    Disabling it and reenabling it seems to work once ...

    I'm thinking about switching to another 3c905-tx that I've got....

    SYS Spec
    W2K Sp3
    MSI 745 Ultra (SIS 745)
    Athlon XP 1800+
    512MB DDR 2,5

    IRQ-nummer Enhet

    1 101/102-tangenters eller Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
    4 Kommunikationsport (COM1)
    6 Standarddiskettstyrenhet
    8 System CMOS/realtidsklocka
    9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    13 Matematikprocessor
    14 Primär IDE-kanal
    15 Sekundär IDE-kanal
    16 NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro
    16 OHCI-kompatibel IEEE 1394-värdstyrenhet
    17 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI NIC (3C905-TX)
    18 Win2000 Promise FastTrak100 TX2/TX4 (tm) Controller
    19 SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    19 Creative SB Audigy
    23 SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller

    The NIC is in the 2 pci and the raid in the 3 pci and the audigy is in the 4 pci slot....

    Any idea?

    Check to see if your NIC has offloading, and if so disable all of it.

        Also which drivers are you using? The updated drivers from MS (and 3Com) have ... issues. Use the windows builtins, although I forget if you're running 2k or xp... you can't do a rollback in 2k.

        I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

        I would still get screwed

          Using the drivers that are in w2k, if they are never, it happened at the same time as sp3.
          I haven't manualy uppdated them.....

            isochar,
            The NIC has no offloading in the drivers page...

            BUT

            Its activated in registry
            It will be disabled NOW!!
            Thanx!

              Hm... it did it again!?!
              I have a 3C905-TX-NM in my other machine that the VIA mobo I had before hated and I might see if the SIS likes it (No problem on the I815 ) and let it folow the old mobo - out of my box

                It died during a DiabloII session and I ripped out the Bastard and put in the 3C905-TX-NM instead!

                2 hours not a single incident :-)

                Case closed!

                  I also load CPU full with Genome. Will switch back to Seti soon (as I'm now the top producer in Genome )
