tried searching breifly but didnt know how to word my search exactly.. send but can not receive... can send... cant receive.. i have no idea but i didnt find anything... anyway...

i use a L1N64-SLI WS MOBO.


When i turn my Westell WireSpeed Dual Connect Modem 2110 a90-220015-04 router off and turn it back on it says its connected like it should, when i try to repair it says that it cant do it sometimes says limited connectivity afterwards but fixes itself saying its connected a couple seconds afterwards. When i try to go to a webpage the light for ethernet on the router blinks like data is being transmitted but i get a cannot find the server. Apparently i send but i dont receive? Have tried setting it on 100 Half duplex, and 100 full duplex, autonegotiation but still wont work.


using drivers from motherboard_driver_chipset_nvidia_mcp55_xp64

Internet works when i boot up from a ubuntu cd i have and calls it mcp55 network controller. So i know modem and cable are good since it works on ubuntu so it must be a setting or driver problem for xp.

I dont have the software that it asks to install after installing the drivers on there i saw some posts in my searching that u shouldnt install that so i never did.

What component types should be installed?

I am pretty clueless to this, my lan should be some Marvell brand thing not an nvidia why am i using nvidia?

oh well as long as i get it to work i couldnt care less.

Thank You In Advance.

Seems simple enough.

In your Ubuntu CD check you IP -> Open Terminal -> ifconfig.
Copy the IP , subnet mask and gateway. should be something like this. might change depending on your router.

IP :192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway :192.168.1.1

In windows, Start -> Control panel -> Network -> Click on properties on your network card -> Select TCP IP protocol and press properties.
Choose manual setting and paste that information give by Linux. Should be something like this.


IP :192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway :192.168.1.1

DNS server:192.168.1.1

Should work. I guess, well, its the best i can do on a forum thread.
