Networking Controller

[amerifax]

I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. It has 2 Network Contollers onboard. For whatever reason I can not get a connection. Normally I only use one and disable the other. Now I am only getting one of the controllers to show up in the Device Manager. Right now I have the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller. I am missing the Marvel Yukon Gigabit Controller. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. When it is there the network connection will work, but only if both cables are plugged in. This has never happened before. I have never had a problem with this.

I have XP Pro x64. I also tried installing a Linksys Instant Gigabit Adapter but there doesn't seem to be x64 support for it. So right now I have no Network Connection.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you install X64 specific drivers?

Inexpensive and support x64.

Are you saying I need a Card? If it's only drivers, does it come with the mothboard?
I have been fighting this problem fpr monthes. It's either the network, motherboard or monitor. We have repalced to motherboards and two hard drives. both are rapotors.

I would think the on board connector would work.

One would think that this is the usual 64-bit driver issue. I would try dual- booting XP x86 to test that theory. If you have no trouble loading the adapter in regular XP, then the 64-bit drivers basically stink. Not uncommon...

As far as basic connection goes, avoid loading the nVidia hardware firewall. Its a huge pain.

There are some X64 network drivers listed on this page:
