    The Network Maigc Program didn't work... wouldn't even let me run the program "Network Could Not Be Found" is the message that popped up and then the program closes....


    Upon checking my network connections... it say that my 1394 connection is connected ....(w/ no cable plugged into the ethernet port.)
    Status shows it connected at a Speed of 400.00Mbps

    I've tried uninstalling the driver but to no results....

    any idea whats going on?

    well you won't be able to connect through your 1394 (firewire), you'll need to plug your router into your RJ58 (ethernet) port, which OS are you using ?

    sorry, not RJ58 i meant RJ45
    RJ58 is old BNC ethernet
    RJ45 is similar to UK telephone connector

    your problem must be your network card itself. If you just recently bought your mobo, ask newegg for a replacement.

    might be a long shot but everytime my base unit travels to my bros shop and back, no metter if we never touched the ethernet card or not, mine won't connect to the net or the router! till i have refitted the ethernet card, it doesn't seem to like to travel.

    might be worth taking it out and putting it back in just to make sure!
