cant u try to install a chipset driver for the NIC only, instead of the MSI's Mobo drivers?? might do the trick maybe it probably is a realtek or something
maybe a firmware upgrade to the modem could solve it
that is if yr willing to go for all the trouble, instead of just sticking a PCI in the freakinn thing, hehe [/b]

i tried lol, some people solved their problem by manually entering the mac address for the onboard nic in the bios that's on a sticker on the motherboard, so i pulled the board out of my case, wrote it down, tried it, flashed the bios, and used nvidia's reference drivers instead of the ones MSI have, and none of it worked, piece of ****, lol, so i put my SMC nic in and it worked perfectly fine, bastards

Sephiroth, took a look at the thread.&nbsp; Bummer.&nbsp; At least it's a small consolation that it's "them" and not "you".&nbsp;

I had no idea dsl providers use MAC, since Bell Canada uses just the user/password system using a connection manager program.&nbsp; They permitted (at least last year) 2 different pc's to be connecected (using conection sharing).

Re NICS, My Nr. 2 PC is an MSI Ultra KT-4 (6590)and (fortunately???) didn't come with an on board NIC.&nbsp; But, I've had trouble in the past with a NIC that failed.&nbsp; I got a new one that worked.&nbsp; Later I assembled another pc and moved the failed NIC to it and it is still there working on my Nr. 1 pc (Asus A7V8X mobo)&nbsp; Go figure.&nbsp; This stuff is enough to drive a guy to drink sometimes.&nbsp; have a beer on me!&nbsp; [/quote]

i know, that's what me and DoG were talking about last night, we really both hate computers, we can fix anybody's computer except for our own, anybody can bring me their computer and give me a few hours and i'll have it stable as hell, but when it comes to my own it has more bugs than half the software MS has wrote in the past 10 years combined lolol
