    « on: July 15, 2009, 08:10:50 AM »

    1394 is firewire, and the NVIDIA network controller is your on-board ethernet.

      I KNOW THAT (no offense meant) but how can i get rid of them because they interfere (after a while) with my connectivity and stop the Net, and everytime i have to do the MS Diagnostic test that shows that that ethernet thingy still seems to be active regardless if I disable it or uninstall it.... :'(

        1394 disabled but Nvidia Network controller cant be disabled, has something to do with protocols and being in use????????????????????????

        disabled it anyway in devicemanager, was ok, but this breach in connectivity still occurs...MS Diagnostics says that I still have ethernet connection stuff and wireless....but i cant see any ethernetstuff in my devicemanager

        Here under you see the existing situation before I disabled the both, 1394 and NVIDIA aso the wireless was the only one there, but still I have connectivity problems after a couple of minutes

        You could also disable it from the BIOS

                    Anything in the BIOS that says "LAN" or "NIC"?

                          bad result: onboard NV LAN and Onboard NV LAN BOOT ROM stopped the wireless connection totally..resp. enabled and disabled, so had to put in the defaults again...LAN CABLE was disabled... ??? :'( ;D Had to use the windows repair option to get the wireless working again. Normally it started automatically which it doesnt do anymore  ::) ??? ::)

                            It won't start automatically because you've essentially wiped out all the records of what wireless records your computer has connected to before.

                            Type in your SSID and password manually and there should be a check box that says something like "Remember these settings" or "Connect automatically" or something to that degree...

                                it seems that there are issues with D-Link and XP concerning incompatability with something called 802.x (either n, g or l). There is a hotfix for it on MS but of course that one doesnt work...any ideas? ???

                                I'm using a D-Link router and a D-Link wired as well as wireless connections, and have yet to have problems. But at the same time my desktop doesn't have built-in networking...

                                However I am also using the more expensive XTreme-N hardware for both NIC and router...

                                This doesn't sound like an incompatibility between anything to me, but rather a stubborn on-board ethernet controller.
