I have a new build and tried connecting to the internet for the first time. The mobo seems to be connecting to the network but, at 10MBPS it says. This seems slow to me. I have a DSL modem and am using the onboard LAN interface on my A8N-E mobo. I did NOT install the nForce Firewall which came with the mobo CD.
I installed XP Pro, installed SP2, and installed ASUS chipset drivers. Everything seems to be working otherwise. Now, I want to connect out to the internet to check for XP updates before loading apps and games.
The network is running fine since I have another pc which connects with no problems. I've compared as many settings as I can find, on network and LAN parameters, and they seem identical.
I don't get it.
Am I missing something?
