nVidia LAN port, corrupts my downloads

Recommended Posts

Got myself a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI mobo with Dual Gigabit LAN ports on it. One's controlled via the nForce4 chipset the other via a Marvell controller.

If I use the nVidia port, files that are transfered via it get corrupted. If I use the Marvell port everythings fine.

 

I want to use the nVidia one because of the ActiveArmour built-in firewall.

 

Using the latest Bios & drivers & a fresh install of XP pro SP2

 

Any ideas ?

 

PC specs:

480w Tagan 2Force SLI PSU

GA-K8NXP-SLI Motherboard (latest bios & chipset drivers)

Athlon64 Dual Core X2 4400+

nVidia 7800GTX GFX card (latest drivers)

2 x 512Mb Corsair XL RAM modules (tested Memtest86+)

PX-716SA SATA DVD-RW drive

2 x Maxtor 300Gb 16Mb cache SATA HD's (RAID 0)

I've now discovered that this is a known issue, related to the nVidia chipset drivers.

It affects anyone with a nForce4 chipset, lets hope nVidia sorts it quick.

I find it easier to configure the LAN port to a specific speed and duplex mode which is compatible with the switch/hub/router its on. For example, 100MB Full Duplex would be fine.
