Overwhelming Ethernet Card?? I've seen numerous posts about the blue screen of death or the computer restarting. For me this is only happening when I use Limewire AND leave the computer inactive. If I am using the computer while downloading, there's not a problem. According to the error message from MS, the problem is with my Netgear Ethernet Router FA311. Many people have suggested updating the drivers which I tried to do but they 're already updating using Windows XP SP2. Now, my IT guy says that the problem is that Limewire is overwhelming the cheap *** NIC. What does everybody think? |
BSD can be for a no. of reasons such as graphic cards, cpu ... so LW might trigger it but the problem exists there & you would eventually see it happening with other apps also. Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider? 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? 11. Graphics card type & driver model? * Do you use a screensaver? If yes try disabling it & see if that makes a difference. (which also semi-relates to graphics card set up possibility.) |
